Even Pro-Migration Zealots Can't Hide the Truth: Mass Immigration Robs Nations of Prosperity! By James Reed
A stunning self-own for the open-borders crowd: a September 2025 study funded by FWD.us, the billionaire-backed lobby pushing for endless influxes of cheap labour, admits what restrictionists have screamed for years: Mass immigration balloons total GDP but tanks per-capita income for everyday Americans. Titled "Demographic and Economic Implications of Alternative U.S. Immigration Policies," the Springer-published report models scenarios from 2021-2060 and concedes that low or zero migration, especially selective skilled inflows, delivers higher prosperity per person than flooding the market with unskilled families. "At medium and low immigration levels, labour-based immigration... produces higher GDP per capita growth," it states, while family-heavy mass migration drags it down due to larger populations with fewer workers. Even FWD.us's own past reports echo this: A 2021 analysis promised a measly 3% per-capita bump over 30 years from doubling inflows, 0.1% annually amid skyrocketing housing costs and wage stagnation. If the pro-amnesty elite are struggling to spin this as a win, it's because the maths doesn't lie: Mass immigration enriches Wall Street fat cats at Main Street's expense.
The FWD.us Confession: GDP Mirage vs. Real American Gains
FWD.us, birthed by Mark Zuckerberg and venture vultures like Reid Hoffman to ram through the 2013 Gang of Eight amnesty flop, exists to flood America with consumers, renters, and low-wage drones to juice real estate and stocks. Yet their own research betrays them. The 2025 study simulates policies: Zero migration yields 1.089 per-capita growth to 2060; halving inflows but prioritising skills adds a smidge more; Biden-era mass family chains? Slower growth than nothing at all. "All family-emphasis scenarios experience slower GDP per capita growth... due to larger population sizes and lower supplies of working-age populations," it admits.
This aligns with critics like Rosemary Jenks of the Immigration Accountability Project: Annex Mexico for GDP glory? Sure, but per-capita income craters, "That's just 'Duh!'" Stephen Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies calls it a giveaway: Good for elites, poison for average Joes. FWD.us's 2024 inflation report even warns low migration spikes wages, admitting migrants suppress pay in tight markets. Their 2021 Florida study? E-Verify deporting illegals would hike wages, forcing employers to compete for natives.
The Ugly Reality: Wage Stagnation, Housing Hell, and Stalled Innovation
Mass migration's "benefits" are a facade. Brookings' 2024 report gripes Trump's curbs could shave 0.5% off 2025 GDP, but ignores per-capita wins and wage boosts for natives in ag, health, and construction. Dallas Fed notes declining inflows (down 82% by March 2025) drag GDP 0.8 points but ease inflation, proving migrants inflate costs without proportional gains. Housing? Zillow charts 56% value surge 2020-2025 under Biden's Extraction Migration; Danish studies link low migration to 30% spikes, but mass inflows exacerbate shortages.
Non-economic hits? Crowded roads, polluted sprawl, fewer native births (immigration depresses fertility), and chaotic diversity stifling innovation. Compendiums of studies show negative labor impacts: Wage suppression, job competition for low-skill natives, cultural clashes eroding trust. Even pro-immigration EPI admits the system deprives migrants of rights, empowering employers to undercut Americans. Abroad? Canada/Australia/UK see quality-of-life dips from elite-driven inflows boosting rents and stocks, not wages.
Elites Exposed: FWD.us's Billionaire Agenda Crumbles Under Scrutiny
FWD.us's backers, Zuckerberg, Hoffman, Benioff, thrive on migrants as renters and data-miners, not citizens. Their reports tout "global leadership" via "humane" floods, but alternatives like boosting native fertility or labour participation get lip service. Trump gets it: "We're going to need robots... to make our economy run because we do not have enough people." Low-migration 1940s-50s built the middle class; today's Extraction scam hollows it out.
Even cheerleaders falter: OECD warns tariffs/low immigration slow 2026 growth, but Dallas Fed ties declines to Biden-era surges. CBO admits immigration shrinks deficits but ignores per-person poverty. The verdict? Mass immigration is elite welfare, time to seal borders, prioritise skills, and let nations thrive from less, America and Australia too!
