I disagree. We do NOT need illegal alien labor. The cost to society in the long run is *far* greater from millions of illegals, than the immediate small increases in prices we would incur were we serious about keeping them out of the country.

I agree with Ikan, if we weren't massively importing illegal laborers American workers would do the jobs required. Doesn't anyone ever wonder how illegal immigration flourished alongside the growth of the welfare system? How about all those unemployed youths I'm always hearing about? Are they too good, too fine, too delicate to wash cars? wash dishes? wait tables?
And as for 'educated' jobs, legal and illegal immigrants have taken the pressure off the Government Schools to produce students who can read, write & do math.
Who pays the price? We, the taxpayers. Who suffers? The poor of America.
I'm a Buchananite now. THIS MUST END!
