The net immigration is what matters: it should be whatever is best for the whole country. And practically none of it illegal.
Since ending illegal immigration will require ‘some’ increase in legal immigration with our demographics I don’t see a real point here.
Nonetheless Cruz did err on his H1B numbers and is fair game for it.
Are you serious? We have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years. The native born are seeing decreased employment across all age groups. We have a surplus of labor and we don't need more legal immigration. We bring in 1.1 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS A YEAR and 640,000 guest workers annually. They are taking American jobs and depressing wages.
