We are essentially getting the same people thru legal immigration. We have a kinship system, not a merit based one. 20% of the legal immigrants lack even a high school degree. We are importing hundreds of thousands of high school dropouts annually. Legal immigrants use the welfare system to a higher extent than the native born.

Immigrants, legal and illegal, are taking jobs from Americans and depressing wages. The total number of working-age (16 to 65) immigrants (legal and illegal) holding a job increased 5.7 million from the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2014, while declining 127,000 for natives.
