But that is all beside-the-point whining. The truth is the boomers didn't have enough kids and cheap labor has to come from somewhere to maintain their standard of living.

BS. We don't need to import high school dropouts to keep our economy going. Read this, you may learn something about the demographic impact of immigration, legal and illegal.

Since the immigration reforms of the 1960s, the U.S. has imported poverty through immigration policies that per­mitted and encouraged the entry and residence of millions of low-skill immigrants into the nation. Low-skill immi­grants tend to be poor and to have children who, in turn, add to America’s poverty problem, driving up governmental welfare, social service, and education costs.

Yep, that's why they are cheap labor....

I'm not saying it's not a problem, I'm not saying it's a good thing.

I'm saying that the boomers didn't have enough kids and we have to import cheap labor. Social pathologies come with that cheap labor.

The articles lament that fact and suggest no alternative source of cheap labor.
