I thought this would be a nice addition. It's a little old but the information and ideas are the same:

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5312900

Some highlights from the article:
Economists say illegal immigrants are a [small] net positive on the economy.
They take jobs, but they create just as many. They need goods and services too.
Minimal impact on wages. Automation would be implicated if wages increased, so "americans" wouldn't get their jobs back because it is cheaper. The only people they're in direct competition with are high school drop outs.

I'm not going to debate but I wanted to provide some information from outside sources.

Does it matter where im from? Ive studied this in geography thouroughly so I'd like to think I know what I'm talking about. More so than the majority of people who have no clue what theyre talking about and just spit up the same old things theyve heard from other people without fully understanding them.

If you come here legally, welcome. If not, don't be butt-hurt because you're being sent back.

Recently INS was going to raid the downtown and word got out and there was not a single person out. I don't have any prejudice against legal Hispanics. I hope people will accept my opinion and not go all crazy on me.
I second this
