Immigration is about race and politics, not economics. Economics, that is greed, is just the sugar to mask the poison.

A landmark National Academy of Sciences report found that immigrants contribute more than $10 billion annually to the economy. Other estimates range as high as $80 billion

In a multi-trillion dollar economy 10 or even 80 billion is peanuts. We're spending double or triple that per year in Iraq. It shows you how hollow the economic argument is.

There are plenty of threads here on FR that point to studies where illegals COST the taxpayers of this fine country much more then they "contribute".
