Dems?

The bottom line is that limiting immigration is bad for the economy. And it is mostly republican business owners who employ undocumented workers. There is a reason the GOP political class is against eVerify.[/quote]

BOTTOM LINE IS THAT LIMITING IMMIGRATION IS GOOD FOR LOW WAGE WORKERS.   Bad for the urban elite.

I consider labor shortages wonderful.   I have never known anything bad to come from a labor shortage, and what we are doing with our immigration policy is keeping the labor market in constant surplus.

It's not clear that it's bad for the urban elite either.  Many of them consider their rents to be on the high side.  [/quote]
