Yea, but Belling just repeated that old saw that the illegals "are doing the jobs Americans won't do" again!! Arrrrrrgggggg!
BS Who did those jobs before the illegals got here? Who is doing those jobs in the rest of the country? We don't need this crap repeated on the Limbaugh show!
I'm sure Rush will set it all straight when he returns.
Without immigration, legal and illegal, the population of the US would be declining, as is the case in most developed countries. Economically, a growing population is a good thing. With a 4.8% unemployment rate, we are virtually at full employment. We need more workers in an expanding economy with an aging work force and declining birth rates among the native population.
However, the problem is we can't assimilate the numbers that are coming in nor are we controlling the kinds of people our economy needs. Every year we increase the quota of H1B visas to get the skilled workers we really need.
Each year 1.5 million immigrants, one million legal and 500,000 illegal, enter our country. That is the equivalent of adding a Philadelphia or Phoenix every year. Eventually, everyone will feel the impact of this invasion, no matter where they live in the US.
