Of course, ceteris paribus, an influx of unskilled workers will put downward pressure on wages for low-skill jobs.

This will also put downward pressure on prices, reducing the cost of living, and I have yet to see a strong argument for why it would be a bad thing. Obviously, there may be additional factors that make certain types of immigration less desirable, but immigration itself is not bad for the economy.

when it's costing California alone, TEN BILLION A YEAR to allow illegals to stay here and another FIVE BILLION for AZ,NM,TX for starters and I won't even get into the number of hospitals that have had to close because they can no longer afford to give FREE MEDICAL CARE TO ILLEGALS...
