1. Americans lose jobs. (especially Whites due to affirmative action).
2. Wage reduction.

12. Overcrowding in schools.
13. Cultural erosion.
14. Overuse of scarce resources (oil, gasoline, fresh water, jobs, electricity, food, etc)
15. Introduction of foreign diseases

Overpopulation is an urban problem. There’s a solution, namely making the rural areas more urbanized and the urban areas more rural through economic planning under the dictatorship of the proletariat. The housing shortage is a crisis reproduced by the capitalist system. Becoming socialist gives us a chance to eliminate housing shortages as E. Germany and Cuba proved. They also showed it is possible to keep rent cheap by political edict while making sure sufficient housing exists through flexible government housing policies that adapted to new market-driven challenges.
1. Americans lose jobs … because of other Americans? Not only do just American jobs count, but just some American jobs count? It’s either all workers unite, or it’s all against all in a race to the bottom, and this makes it obvious. BTW whenever jobs are lost, unemployment by nonwhites goes up the most, because the effect of affirmative action is to ameliorate, not to reverse the direction of, race discrimination.
2. Wages go up due to more workers coming in, swelling the ranks of the labor movement in a given area and introducing new traditions of struggle learned in their prior homes. The only thing that can drive wages down is when discrimination against those who are “different” gives the bosses an opening wedge for their divide and conquer program.
3. Why would citizens stand for that, unless perhaps due to racist attacks by Klan types?
4. Why is money sent to Puerto Rico “lost”? Because they are a colony which (you believe) should be exploited by the metropole?
5. Puerto Ricans who come to a state are almost certainly less likely to be on welfare than if they remain in Puerto Rico though?
6. They likely commit less crime in the states as well.
7. Probably worse in Puerto Rico than in all but a few urban areas, again this is a problem of unbalanced urban development and of the lack of public transportation development.
8. Maybe because their lifestyle and therefore carbon footprint improves. Are you saying they should be left behind because of their race, nationality, or language? How to improve our lifestyles in an ecologically responsible manner needs to be part of an international economic plan, because we are failing miserably now.
9. You think that doesn’t happen in Puerto Rico? Give us a break, after apologizing for your attacks on the American Jobs Act which would have built a bunch of hospitals.
10. You’ll just have to go to bingo on Tuesday nights instead.
11. Almost surely worse in Puerto Rico (alleviated when Puerto Ricans come to U.S. states) as well. Allocate more funding to hire government workers.
12. Certainly worse in Puerto Rico. Build more schools.
13. Cultural enrichment if you aren’t a bigot.
14. Almost certainly used more efficiently in the U.S. The wealthy are a far bigger threat to our access to these resources just as their rule is the reason we have crowded hospitals and schools. The answer is taking power out of their hands and redistributing the wealth.
15. Foreign diseases from one part of the U.S. to another, introduced by citizens who have always been legally free to travel?
16. Bite my shiny metal ass.
