Academia and the piss-steam media say that immigration of any kind is good for the economy. They insult Californians, Arizonians and other states who are burdened with an influx of poverty, which they are forced to sustain. U.S. taxpayers subsidize illegal immigration and pad the pockets of businesses addicted to cheap labor. Taxpayers at the state and local levels bear the brunt, providing $84 billion in services annually.
