Oh geez. Give it a rest already...... the study comes from researchers from Duke and Cal (although I guess to conspiracy theorists, this is the equivalent of waving the red flag at the bull).

Thanks to everyone who welcomed me. I honestly don’t see where illegals come in the discussion here. I mean, there are so many threads for illegals......lets keep comments there......and we can all agree illegal immigration should not be tolerated.

This posting was more along shining the spotlight on the “controversial” H1B program.......like it or not, that’s a legal way of immigrating into the US, and currently, the only way foreign students can stay after their studies. Given the time frame of the study, 1995 - 2005, and the nature of the subjects, I think almost all would have been on H1B visas unless they married US citizens before completing their studies.

So this posting was more along the lines of “taking jobs from Americans” (which I’d heard a lot of) vrs “creating jobs for Americans” (which I didn’t know.......)

Thanks for humoring me.

No, this article was by way of excusing the total of “immigrants” by putatively assigning positives to the bare fraction that nobody would deny have merit.

As a newcomer you have no need to justify your position; you only need to be honest with your motives.
