Any body can write a report and selectively select the data that supports their position or idea they want you to accept. Below are some facts that were apparently ignored in the analysis of the legallizing illegals.

A report showing that giving amnesty to illegals and that the social economic status increased is what one would expect to happen.

However, now they have a reason to claim their wages or be in violation of U.S. tax laws. Just because they now report their income now, does not mean the income in the U.S. economy increased by that amount. Part of the income the now legal’s report most likely was part of the underground economy that is not previously reported.

Also, to claim legalization did not cost U.S. citizens any jobs is totally without basis. During this 1980's and 1990's the number of part time workers increased as a percentage of the labor force.

Also, the number of discourage workers who stopped looking for work during this time period increased.

To claim that there would be a loss of over $10 trillion dollars in GDP assumes that legal citizens who are unemployed will not fill those jobs now being filled by illegal’s who work for less because the illegal’s are part of the underground economy.

When you increase the number of workers, when there are only so many jobs, the laws of Supply and Demand dictate that some one will not get a job.

Any body can write a report and selectively select the data that supports their position or idea they want you to accept.

Just more liberal blabber. We want our country back. Don't try to sell a stolen car to a legitimate buyer. Americans want legitmacy. Come to this country through the legal channels, learn English, become an American, not just a misplaced financially hungry criminal who steals across borders to breed children and rob Americans of tax dollars and job. Sorry, it doesn't matter how well the last batch of lottery winners did, likely with tax money, grants, and giveaways given to people that will never repay Americans for their investments. This American wants my tax dollars to go to Americans and only Americans. Enough is enough. An invasion is an invasion. Stop the bleeding now and give some credibility to those who come to this country legally and follow the rules.
