[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“the Cato institute a zillion times to show that illegal immigrants don't hurt the economy, so I'm not sure why you are so focused on "liberals"? ”

? not PP but come on. The economy “needs low skill low wage” workers so badly? Then why are we spending so much time trying to educate our kids well - the economy “needs” them!! 
Employers will always look for low wage and low benefit work. And in SOME cases like crop picking I think it is accurate that it is impossible at virtually any price to get Americans to do those jobs. But plenty of other jobs now highly filled by illegals used to be filled by Americans willing to work for a certain level of wage and hours/benefits combo.

Sure the overall economy benefits from them - that does not mean workers do. [/quote]

the research shows wages are not depressed by legal/illegal immigrants.

and yes, we need low-skill workers. don't you go to the grocery store, hospital, gas station, etc?

if you care that much about workers, the answer is to legalize immigration and strengthen unions. [/quote]

Sure I go to those places. Where I live deep in the Nova burbs most of those workers are American. Same for my hometown in PA. It is not the case that ONLY immigrants - amdbillehal ones at that - can fill those jobs. [/quote]
