I dont disagree but it not completely meaningless. It speaks as a reminder that "cheap" labor is not so cheap in the long run. Immigration policy should be based on a free market economy's capacity to absorb labor, not politicians special interests.
There have always been freeloaders and lazy people. A welfare state and lawless federal government exacerbates their impact on society.

see, I agree with ALL of that.
