It's the Economy, Stupid [1]

I worked at a Walmart for 12 years, so I am using that as an example of where we see the economy doing well, or not.
Seems to me, more immigrants and more inclusion helps keep the prices down, and makes life easier.
More immigrants means more customers, which allows Walmart to keep the prices down.
More immigrants hired at Walmart simply makes life easier for all those working at Walmart.
There is always so much to do, so having more workers makes life easier for all the workers.
And immigrants to pick the crops, and work at the meat packing plants, that keeps the economy going strong, as well.
So, we Democrats should state this message, loud and clear, at all times:
More immigrants and more inclusion helps the economy, by keeping prices down.
And tariffs raise prices, just the opposite.
So, we can talk about the morality, the emotional reasons, to welcome immigrants, not snatch them up and ship them off, but we need to remember:
It’s the economy, stupid.
