More open-borders nonsense.

1.)Enforce the law.
2.)If need be, enlist all illegals currently in the country into a voluntary TEMPORARY guest worker program for those who want to work here.
3.)Bring in more willing workers on a temporary worker basis if necessary.
4.)Enforce the rules of any guestworker program.
5.)Reject amnesty.

We'll be fine.

A head of winter lettuce would also rise dramatically in price, along with the cost of a restaurant meal and a new home.

Typical lies. My home was built without one illegal working on it.

It's de-construction time.

1. Jim Spencer must agree with Mr. Soru, since he calls him non-partisan.

2. Does Colorado non-affiliated state legislators? I didn't see a reference to the state rep's party.

3. Both sides are wrong. Only the government of the United States of America has the time, money and hubris to calculate exactly what it doesn't know. (Which makes a great tag-line - time to bring it back.)

At least they saved the real crux of the issue until the end of the article.

civilian vigilante Minuteman Project

only 700,000 unauthorized Mexican migrants coming each year

purpose of immigration

Anti-illegal immigrant forces push the notion that undocumented aliens commit violent crimes.

But they are a very small part of the overall crime problem.

the conspiracy theory that Mexicans come here illegally to have children who automatically become U.S. citizens so they can reclaim the West and Southwest for Mexico.

are young adults who are coming here to find work and are not planning to stay forever.

short 600,000 workers in the coming year

A head of winter lettuce would also rise dramatically in price, along with the cost of a restaurant meal and a new home.

NOPE NO BIAS HERE!!! NOTHING TO SEE MOVE ALONG NOW

Roberto Suro directs the nonpartisan Pew Hispanic Center. He says that it's a myth that ILLEGAL immigrants are stealing . . . jobs from U.S. citizens.

That don't make a lick of sense.

This Credit Union National Association, Inc. excerpt says that Pew says more than one million of the nation's 2.5 million new jobs went to Hispanics--mostly recent immigrants.

Is this one of those "depends upon the meaning of is" thingies?

The Credit Union National Association, Inc is advising members to hurry get on board -- ILLEGAL immigrants don't need no stinkin' permission to be here -- and they got money!!

"Most observers don't see the government enforcing a 1986 law forbidding employment of undocumented immigrants -- no matter how loudly groups like the Washington-based Friends of Immigration Law Enforcement complain. Nonresident immigrants already make up half the nation's farm workers, 25% of the laborers in the meat and poultry industry, 27% in the drywall and ceiling industry, says the Pew Hispanic Center. Last year, more than one million of the nation's 2.5 million new jobs went to Hispanics--mostly recent immigrants, Pew says." [End excerpt]

I just picked the first search hit -- there are several sources about how "recent immigrants" are taking jobs while established immigrants and citizens remain unemployed. Besides Pew see also the labor studies department at Northeastern University and the Center for Immigration Studies.

"In fact, Suro said, the largest number of unauthorized Mexican migrants "are young adults who are coming here to find work and are not planning to stay forever. Child-rearing does not appear to be a factor in why people come initially. It is a reason to stay."

BULLSH**!!! ask any social services worker who you can get an honest answer from.
