WSJ supports it because businesses need workers for non-skilled positions. Americans are not having enough babies, and too many pregnancies have ended up in abortion.

You will soon see that we have a massive shortage of workers in the U.S. Despite what many on this site think about shipping jobs offshore and having Mexicans work in America, we are in trouble without bringing folks in.

Mexicans work in America, we are in trouble without bringing folks in.

The simple answers to that are (1) either get back on the track to real welfare reform, as started in the Contract With America, or (2) increase the incentives to use labor saving devices. We have the technological abilities to move in that direction.

The idea of changing the nature of our societies by bringing in peoples not particularly congenial to traditional American norms, is addressing a transient problem that affects some Americans, by permanently damaging the future of all of us.

Immigration is like fire. It is a dangerous servant, but a fearful master. While we can control it, it still affords possibilities for unwanted changes. When it controls us, as in the case of the present open border, we are in real trouble. (See Immigration & The American Future.)
