Thanks for posting. This is a rational economic argument which makes sense. It is by no means the only argument against illegal immigration, but certainly one which gives opponents no traction to resist. It is also reasonable to make cultural and political arguments, which add to the weight of this critique. Care should be exercised to minimize the emotional content of such arguments, however, lest our opponents be given an excuse to slander us as “racists.” That they will do so anyway, even if the facts do not support the accusation, is a given. Do not let it concern you overly.
We Americans own our country and have a right to determine whether or not non-owners can or should live here - no less than a homeowner determines who resides in his or her own home. It’s that simple.
Wrong on both counts. America is bankrupt. It's creditors have been calling the shots since 1933 (the same limousine liberals and internationalists who advocate more social spending, now for obvious reasons).
