Immigration simmering in U.S. pot

Christopher Jencks, the independent-minded professor of social policy at Harvard, examined America's 30-year immigration experiment. He concluded that mass immigration had worsened the living standards of low-paid Americans...

It amazes me that most Liberals don't get this! 50% of the growth in the earnings gap between workers with and without college degrees is due to immigration - legal and illegal. Immigrants compete with unskilled Americans. The fact that the Demopublicans and Republicrats are united in their desire to flood America with foreigners proves they are really two wings of the same party.

Liberals understand this quite well. In their hatred of America and their sadism, they are in favor of anything that will destroy this nation. Immigration is one way of achieving that goal.

Interesting, some people are actually pulling their heads out of their ______. It's too damn late for California, but perhaps other states can still be kept within the union.

ADD A BIG ILLEGAL TO THAT IMMIGRATION ISSUE.

Immigrants compete with unskilled Americans

Perhaps they should work and learn a skill.

[PRND21]

I mean Americans.
As a conservative I feel you need to work and learn, not wait and accept.

Thanks for the flag. Nothing of any signifigance has been done nor will anything of any signifigance be done in the future on immigration for the exact reason the author cites; it might hurt the GOP's standing at the polls and that is of more importance to them than anything else.

But he also thought that the curious coalition of right-wing libertarians...
Pure foolishness! Everyone knows that libertarians have no power and no influence and no one pays any attention to what they say!
That .01% thing, ya know.

"Ever since Sept. 11, the immigration issue has been lurking dangerously just beneath the surface of political debate"

Guys, Note that "since Sept. 11" the issue is "dangerous". Prior to that, among "polite" {insider; leadership} company, the issue was verboten. Peace and love, George.

That's the 1st time I've heard Dubya, & the people who voted for him called liberals. You do know who's calling for amnesty of millions on illegal aliens don't you? Hint: Clinton ain't president no more...

Immigration restrictions would help the GOP's position in the polls; as the NY Post article pointed out, every poll shows large majorities of Americans favor immigration restrictions. Immigrants also are more likely to be democrats.

The liberals do get it, but they don't care. They only pretend they're interested in the plight of the poor. What liberals are really interested in is increasing the power of the state, and since poor people are more likely to vote for statist policies, it is in liberal's interests to maximize the number of poor people in this country. The more unskilled immigration, the more poor people. It's that simple.
