If you have chosen not to avail yourself of the greatest period of economic prosperity in history don't blame me or President Bush. Isn't five years of whining enough already?
Partly due to the use of illegal labor. But I guess as long as American companies are making a decent profit, we should just close our eyes to their lawbreaking, right? I guess the end justifies the means. I'm sure they used this same argument during the days of slavery.
FYI Rodney in the 1980s there was far greater economic growth than we are seeing now. During that period legal immigration was only 500,000 annually and mass illegal immigration hadn't quite taken off yet like it has now.
In addition, states like California were not on the verge of bankruptcy, quite the opposite they were still prospering.
You make it sound as if the US will collapse without immigration and has history has proven you're full of it.
