Illegal Immigration Costs U.S. $113 Billion a Year, Study Finds

#5  I love Tweedledum/dee's mantra on this: "we need their labor" ie there's a shortage of low-end labor.

So riddle me this: Real low-end wages in this country have been falling for the past 35 years. In what alternate universe does a shortage of a good co-exist with a FALLING price for that good? How does that work, exactly?

#4  If you follow the liberal American Immigration Council's logic, we should bring to the US every poor immigrant we can find. This would erase the national debt over night and we would have budget surpluses as far as the eye can see. Happy days would be here again.

#3  I see the cost of remittances (~$30B?) leaving the US every year isn't included.
