A study of census data concludes that recent immigrants were critical to the nation's economic growth in the past decade, accounting for half the new wage-earners who joined the labor force in those years. The effect was particularly large among men: Eight of 10 new male workers in the previous decade were immigrants who arrived during that time, according to the report by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University.
The Northeastern University report, scheduled for release this week, offers powerful evidence of the growing impact of immigrants in American society. Earlier data from the 2000 Census showed a record number of new arrivals during the 1990s that prevented population loss in some cities and rural areas. The newly analyzed work force numbers show that immigration also is redrawing the profile of the U.S. work force, in some cases transforming entire industries. More than 13 million legal and illegal immigrants came to the United States from 1990 to 2001, drawn by the healthy economy and family ties. The report said 8 million immigrants joined the labor force, which means they were either working or looking for work, over a period when the total number of new workers was 16 million.

STOP ABORTION AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO IMPORT OR DEPEND ON TRANSPLANTS TO FILL ALL JOB VACANCIES.
WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND> MAYBE ALL THE INTELLECTUALS OUT THERE CAN'T LOWER THEIR THOUGHT PROCESS THIS LOW.
IN THE LAST 30 YEARS ARE AMERICAN WOMEN, WIVES, DAUGHTERS, HAVE ABORTED ENOUGH BABIES TO POPULATE SOME COUNTRIES.
WAKE UP AMERICA. STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT IMMIGRANTS AND DO SOMETHING TO STOP IT.
Are you part of the solution or the problem?
I tried to say something along these lines on an earlier thread and am still getting flames.
Tired & Poor: Bankrupt Arguments for Mass, Unskilled Immigration
by Steven A. Camarota
National Review, September 3, 2001
We at the Center for Immigration Studies estimate that the average Mexican immigrant will use $55,200 more in public services during his lifetime than he pays in taxes.
In California and New Jersey, the average immigrant-headed household currently uses $3,463 and $1,484 more, respectively, in services provided by state and local government than it pays in taxes. This translates into an added tax burden of $1,178 imposed on each native household in California and $232 in New Jersey (Table 3 on page 7)
Immigration was responsible for 44 percent of the decline in relative wages (compared to other workers) for high school dropouts from 1980 to 1994.
Center for Immigration Studies Paper No. 19
…reduction in wages for the unskilled has likely reduced prices for consumers by only an estimated .08 to .2 percent in the 1990s. The impact is so small because unskilled labor accounts for only a tiny fraction of total economic output.
So re-check your data. Immigration can't possibly be good for America.

90'S ECONOMIC BOOM DESTROYED BY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, JSP1 SUGGESTS
The money was flowing like water, the $3 an hour crowd just sucked up the residuals/freebees until they were all gone.
There is too much invested in the "right" to an abortion for the practice to stopped or even curtailed. If women end up not having the "right" to abortion on demand, that would mean that they would start to lose the privillaged status that gives them rights at the expense of others who's rights are now being restricted and eliminated. It's the same double standard that almost guaratees them custody of the children they don't abort when she tires of the husband, knowing that the "family" court will give her most of his property and a large amount of his earnings.
Common sense MUST be re-introduced into this issue or as a society we're doomed.
