sorry warch, if we are in dire need of workers, then there are plenty on the unemployment rolls. if there are jobs that we can't fill with citizens, they can probably be filled with workers with proper visa's.
if we need more after that, then we can open up the borders to a larger number of legal immigrants. you know? those ones that actually follow the laws? i'm not anti-immigration, i'm extremely disgusted with illegal immigration. do you know who ridicules illegals more than anyone else? legal immigrants. the racial epithets they throw at the dayworkers would make a clansman bluch.
as far as economics, there are millions of dollars mailed to mexico, from the illegal workers up here. Mexico absolutely loves illegal immigration to the US, it pumps $$ into their economy.
BTW - if you've ever been in a border town and watched extremely pregnant women pacing in the parking lots, what you are watching is someone planning to create a new US citizen and beat the system. they pace back and forth until labor begins then they make sure they are on the US side, call for help, go to a US hospital, squeeze one out and tada! instant ticket to the US. Did you know the number one name for baby boys in arizona for 2004 was Jose? it wouldn't be a matter of concern if more of the mothers were here legally. but now, they have the ability to stay in the US and their children qualify for public aid. it's just ridiculous.
