We need another 15 million illegals (consumers) to come pouring across our borders

Actually this isn't a bad idea - we do need to sell outside of the domestic market. Whether we sell to them there or they come here it would help with the oversupply problem.

"Whether we sell to them (illegal immigrants)there or they come here it would help with the oversupply problem."
Not really - they don't have the money in their own countries to buy our goods (that's why they come here - duh). If they come here they are a negative drain on our economy, using more of our resources (hospitals, welfare, public schools,etc) than they produce, and don't have to contribute into our social security or tax system. IMHO illegal immigration is one of the root causes of our stagnant economy (next to global over capacity). Certainly the very wealthy benefit with cheap lawn care and nannies (nouveau planation owners) but the rest of us pay every time we go to the hospital or take our kids to school having to wade through the flood of illegals to make our way to what we paid for and they didn't.

Don't worry about that as it is estimated that 5000 illegals cross our borders DAILY. If this 15 million illegal aliens follows the tradition of the first 15 million, then they will all be shopping at Walmart buying from China.
