Fortunately the people who make this economy go don't think like you. You are totally preoccupied with protecting your share of the pie instead of increasing the size of the pie. More doctors can generate more medical demand, build more hospitals, ....

Your theoretical supply/demand models don't work in practice. Look at the actual facts and you will see that immigrant labor is helping, not hurting our economy, including our standard of living.

You're wasting your time being concerned about people who will always be dead beat losers. Their problem isn't immigrants or imports or outsourcing or the weather or technology, or quotas, or scabs or mergers or anything else except their own attitude. You can't help them.

I am not trying to protect my piece of the pie, I am concerned for our nation and the sad direction it is heading..all you have to do is look at Mexico and imagine what America could look like with unlimited immigration...Its kinda like looking at a prospective spouses parents to see what your spouse probably will look like in the future..it isn't a pretty picture...don't forget the Mayans flourished & prospered in cities with great monuments and technology, before they disappeared from the face of the earth...

More doctors can generate more medical demand, build more hospitals, ....

Yes they can but not in proportion to such a large increase in doctors...wages still would be depressed.

You seem to think having an abundant supply of cheap labor is good for the economy..well just take a look at third world countries and their abundant supply of cheap labor, that is the direction we are heading if we don't slow down our immigration...

I am looking at tht whole picture not just the economy..
Your standard of living may have increased and others that exploit illegals also, but mainstream America's standard of living is not increasing..

I agree I can't help you. I can however present facts to show that your attitude/opinion is wrong and not based on fact.
