    Via Breitbart Immigration, Breitbart.COM/immigration, see Neil Munro
    on whether Donald Trump regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to
    downplay the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden
    and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2021/11/20/gop-donors-economist-immigration-can-offset-foreign-trade-risks/>
    | But the advocates do quietly push the claim that immigrants grow
    | consumption. For example, Google is an advertising company, and in
    | 2015, its chairman at the time, Eric Schmidt -- an FWD.us funder --
    | called for more immigration to offset slowing births in the United
    | States. He said:
    |
    | Most stock markets assume modest growth, right? So how are you
    | going to over a couple of decades deal with the fact that one third
    | of your customers are going to go away? Well, one is produce more
    | customers through immigration or, you know, greater reproductive
    | performance.
    |
    | Zuckerberg's pro-migration ally, Mike Bloomberg, uses his New
    | American Economy advocacy group to tout migrants' consumer spending:
    |
    | The contributions immigrants make as both taxpayers and
    | consumers are indispensable to the U.S. economy. Nationally,
    | immigrants earned $1.3 trillion in 2014 ... [giving them] nearly
    | $927 billion in spending power, which they frequently used to
    | purchase goods and services, stimulate local business activity, and
    | create jobs in the broader U.S. economy.

    Will Mitch McConnell and Kevin McCarthy continue to fund the
    dispossession of legacy American proles for the Cheap Labor Lobby?

    *conservatives* who insist populism played no part, none at all,
