Please someone tell me why we need a single illegal immigrant, and how it benefit's the USA. I am not being sarcastic I want the "undocumented worker" fan club to give me one reason why having illegal aliens residing in the USA is a good thing. Furthermore please advise me how rewarding people who broke the law to enter helps the USA's interests

For various reasons, we simply do not have a big enough (legal) labor pool in the US to meet all of the requirements of our economy.

Could our economy go on without illegals? Sure. But get ready to carve a percent or two off of our economy's rate of growth.

Prices for such things as construction, produce, building cleaning, meat, landscaping etc. would go up if illegals did not perform such jobs.

That's a hard reality. Now, whether such an economic sacrifice is worth securing our Southern border is the question.
