[C. Edmund Wright]

Decrease welfare and unemployment benefits and the pool of job applicants will surge.

I'll put it another way. If we DON"T decrease welfare and UE benefits, then the pool of citizen applicants WILL NEVER surge. Lotta folks, including Freepers don't want to admit it, but welfare and UE benefits ARE A BIG BIG PART of the illegal immigration problem.

Well stated.

Immigrants, legal and illegal, use welfare programs to a greater extent than the native born.
