In other words, illegal immigration and the underground, cash economy it creates has become so powerful a force, it artificially dampens inflation rates, boosts real estate inflation (putting home ownership beyond the ken of young Americans) and reduces the wages of the average American. Wow, that's blockbuster news.

The real blockbuster news is that those lines were written by Bonnie Erbe, a longtime hardcore media leftist. There really has been an opinion shift on illegal immigration, and the actual public discussion of the issue is a political earthquake.

Eh, eh. I actually found the article in the local leftist Las Vegas Sun, a newspaper with so few readers it has to be inserted in the conservative Las Vegas Review-Journal just so there can be "two daily newspapers" in the metro area. It was just easier to search for it at Scripps Howard.
