You mean like your inability to logically answer one question:

What is the biggest detriment to the US economy due to the current policy and the proposed one?

What is the biggest detriment to the US economy due to the current policy and the proposed one?

Alright, the current policy encourages illegals to earn low wages and stay under the radar without paying taxes and sending monies outside of the country while companies hoard the labor and profit while not paying taxes on the black market of the labor. The Bush proposal stomps out all incentive. What good is it to hire an illegal alien (or any alien for that matter) if you have to pay them a real wage??? Companies will be forced to higher legal workers, and will most likely hire... English speakers.
