It's hard to believe immigration, legal or otherwise, has put a damper on the economy....

Swinney, could you ping your list?

Let people know how CFR feels about illegals.

Judging by the responses from the Dims during the NPR debate yesterday regarding illegals, the folks at CFR should be pleased.

Judging by the actions of the leading GOP candidates, as opposed to their words, the CFR is very pleased all way round.

"Aside from the cost to government..."

There is NO cost to gov't!!!! Taxpayers pick up the tab. The gov't has NO $ until they fleece taxpayers. Meanwhile illegal immigrants hold down the wages of those same taxpayers by doing jobs for less $ than Americans can and will do the job. Taxpayers get to pay for goods and services at the same rate they would pay if Americans were doing the work. Meanwhile the cos. who hire illegals pay less for their illegal labor and the corporate heads pay themselves bonuses for keeping the labor costs down.

How stupid do these people think we are? REALLY, REALLY dumb if they think they can continue to sell this crap to ordinary citizens while they develop their slave labor and let taxpayers pick up the tab for their costs.

“How stupid do these people think we are?”

Good question for the next debate: Explain, if any, your affiliation with CFR?

Thanks, Swinney. Either the FR search feature sucks or I do.

What key words did you use?

I have liked articles by Max Boot, but I can’t agree with him here.

I want to know what Max Boot’s real name is. He wasn’t Max Boot when he was born in the USSR.
