The Wall Street Journal is nothing short of a shill for cheap labor and open borders.

The WSJ doesn't have a bunch of dummies working for it. These people know what they're talking about. And as far as "shills" go, the bio on the guy who wrote the piece shows he has Republican credentials; after all, he was the RNC Chairman for a year and a half.

But don't just take Gillespie's word on the matter and dismiss it. Read Julian Simon's research on the The Economic Consequences of Immigration into the United States. Informed people should know not to bet against the late Julian Simon.

"And as far as "shills" go, the bio on the guy who wrote the piece shows he has Republican credentials; after all, he was the RNC Chairman for a year and a half."

I know exactly who he is. Gillespie supports the McCain-Kennedy-Specter immigration bill, which in my opinion is the worst, most liberal immigration bill floating through the senate.

Their bottom line is THEIR bottom line.

I view it from MY bottom line which is as a taxpayer and American worker who does not support lowering wages, who sees the result of having to pick up the tab to support them (on medicaid, welfare, overcrowded schools)and subsidize their employers.

From Julian Simon’s research:

It doesn't matter what Julian Simon's research shows, because Gillespie didn't cite it. He chose to cite the NRS study and he did in error to his favor, for which he needs to be brought to account.

The WSJ doesn't have a bunch of dummies working for it. These people know what they're talking about. And as far as "shills" go...

A shill is not a dummie, a shill is a cunning person operating a deceitful enterprise. This describes the WSJ on the immigration issue to to tee.

[Gillespie] has Republican credentials; after all, he was the RNC Chairman for a year and a half.

Believing that the shill has credibility because of his Republican credentials on this particular issue makes you the dupe.
