If you really think he was speaking about legal ones then it is definitely pointless.

He was.

... We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy -- even though this economy could not function without them. (Applause.) All these are forms of economic retreat, and they lead in the same direction -- toward a stagnant and second-rate economy.

Tonight I will set out a better path: an agenda for a nation that competes with confidence; an agenda that will raise standards of living and generate new jobs. Americans should not fear our economic future, because we intend to shape it.

Where in that statement did he point out that he was speaking of legal immigrants? No one has a problem with legal immigrants. I'm bad mouthing the damage the illegal ones are causing. Since he didn't differentiate between the two groups, I had to decide which group he was referring to when he made the statement about 'immigrants are somehow bad for the economy'. If the legal ones are not a problem for our economy, why would he mention them? Since he did mention the word 'immigrant' my logical conclusion would be that he wasn't speaking about the legal ones, only illegal.
