Tulsa, OK Media Suckered by Incomplete Data Peddled by 'New American Economy' Propagandists

Ha! What do you know!
I just mentioned the New American Economy shysters (Michael Bloomberg and his globalist gang!) the other day and how they promote the phony-baloney idea that a growing immigrant population brings economic boom times to struggling (are they really struggling?) American cities.

Does no one in the media ever question these slick propaganda reports?  https://www.cityoftulsa.org/media/6141/newamericaneconomytulsareport11-29-17.pdf

And, along comes this news: Tulsa’s NBC 2 News falls for the supposed “study” that says immigrants add billions annually to the Tulsa economy.
But, oopsy, apparently no one ever asks about what the COSTS are to the local economy.
This study is a joke.
Where are the costs to the local school system, the criminal justice system, the local health system, the welfare costs?
Are the “new Americans” putting pressure on the supply of housing needed for ‘old Americans?’
And, where are the figures for the remittance dollars being sent out to the third world and forever gone from the Oklahoma economy?
 
Here is 2 News:

Immigrants are 7 percent of Tulsa population, contribute nearly $4 billion

 

TULSA, Okla. — If it weren’t for immigrants, Tulsa’s population would be about 1/4 fewer than 10 years ago.
According to Christina Da Silva, Deputy Chief of Staff for the City of Tulsa, immigrants accounted for about 24 percent of the city’s growth.

Yippee! We are celebrating diversity too says Christina Da Silva.  https://www.publicradiotulsa.org/post/da-silva-named-deputy-chief-staff

It’s a group that continues to grow both in population and in diversity.
“The majority of them are coming from South and Central America, but we also have a fast growing Asian population. Many of them are coming from Bhurma (sic) as refugees,” Da Silva said.
About 6.7 percent of the population in the Tulsa metro area are immigrants, according to the “New Americans in Tulsa” report . In 2015, they contributed $3.8 billion to the Tulsa metro area’s gross domestic product.
Da Silva says immigrants are crucial to the local economy, as many take on jobs that are in high demand like construction. [Really, there are no Americans wanting construction jobs in Tulsa?—ed]
[….]
“As the city grows and becomes a more world-class city, what’s exciting is being able to celebrate the diversity,” Da Silva said.

question markWhere are you Oklahomans?  Best thing you could do is to push back against your local media when they publish stories like this one. 
Did you know this? Tulsa’s crime rate is through the roof!

  1. The best thing Oklahomans should do is ask their elected officials, county commissioners or state reps to request an accounting of the costs from the Health Dept, Education Dept, Health and Human Services (welfare) for all of these ‘new americans’ or refugees or illegals. It can be done. You as a citizen have a right to know but better to go thru an elected official. I did it for my town/county in 2014 and it was eye opening. They (Humanitarian groups) say that these people are self supporting after 90 days but NOT TRUE. They don’t count snap, WIC, Ssi etc.

  2. I live in Tulsa. Illegal immigrants have flooded the Public School system, get free lunch and medical. You’re damn right that study is bogus!
