He said the country's current economic slowdown presented "a real-world test" of the widespread contention that immigration was primarily driven by the country's labor needs.

You mean...maybe...they come over for something other than work? What could that be? Could it be...welfare? Or is it...Freedom?

Actually, both are very strong attractants.

"He said the fact that immigration has not slowed significantly since 2000, even though unemployment has increased significantly, indicates that immigration levels do not simply reflect demand for labor in this country."

What it reflects is the demand in this country to pay illegal wages under the table. No SS matching funds, no insurance coverage, no paper work..and the golden apple of the Welfare safety net.

There is a small town not far from me, Olney, Texas. There the government has built a welfare apartment complex raising the population of the town from 1,200 to 2,000. They don't work, speak english, or pay taxes. What they do accomplish is theft, robbery, harrasment of the locals and the locals children in public school. And this is repeating itself in small towns all across America.

Yesterday I was on the phone to friends that live there, they related how on Halloween night, pickup truck loads, from there and the surrounding area, of them were going door to door trick or treating. They said the neighborhood turned their porch lights off and closed business for the evening. The citizens felt these folks get enough free goodies without them having to contribute directly.

Government social spending --- welfare, Medicaid, WIC, free housing, etc will show HOW so many immigrants can easily survive here when the jobs are leaving the country and why millions of indigent, uneducated immigrants are coming over the border. Jobs only attract the relatively few who are only here to work ---- it's the government handouts bringing in the majority.
