Assuming he means illegal immigrants, I'm full up to here with hearing this stated as if it is fact. No one has shown a shred of evidence this is true. In fact I'm about 99% sure it's false. Yet the left and many too lazy to think for themselves swallow it hook, line and sinker.

Yet the left and many too lazy to think for themselves swallow it hook, line and sinker.

I met be about to step on some toes here, but...

I've noted that a great many of the folks on the right who believe that we need illegal immigrants to make the economy go are also either business owners or supporters of business owners. While I usually agree with this group on most things, I've also noted that they can be among the most *annoying* group on the right by far when it comes to their behavior. It's exacerbated when I do disagree with them on something, and they certainly seem to be far more accepting of illegal immigration to me than other groups on the right are.

That's just my perception of the situation, and I admit it could be completely wrong as my 'dataset' if you will is fairly small.
