I doubt I would do any of them.
I would love to see all of the illegals leave. who is going to fill their jobs?
We will all pay more. The economy would suffer.
It would be so refreshing if you actually took the time to read the links that you attach to "make" your point.
from your link....http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2006-04-10-immigrants-economic-impact_x.htm
"Measured against the passions it arouses, immigration's economic consequences are surprisingly modest, economists say. Less than 5% of the nation's 148 million workers are illegal immigrants, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. By one estimate, immigrants raise total economic output by $21.5 billion — equivalent to less than one day of extra output each year. "We know that the net benefit of immigration is very small," says George Borjas, an economist at Harvard University who specializes in the subject."
"Yet, there's a silver lining in the workforce transformation, Kasarda says. The money employers saved by adopting more Hispanic labor allowed at least some factories in embattled industries to keep working. On average, the Hispanic workers earned much lower salaries: $24,391, vs. $39,951 for non-Hispanics.
That preserved jobs for thousands of Americans, both on still-humming assembly lines and in related businesses that benefit from their presence. Overall, the state's fast-rising Hispanic population, almost evenly divided between legal and illegal migrants, funnels about $9 billion in purchases and taxes into North Carolina's economy each year, Kasarda says.
"Few people would argue that Hispanics do not depress wages," he says. "But there is another side to the coin."
Reading is fun....You can actually learn things!!! If you did more reading and less listening to those that you allow to form your opinions you would be a more interesting human being.
