Actually, I heard one candidate talk about reducing legal immigration by 25%......utter idiocy with a flat birth rate. He tried to qualify it as unskilled immigrants, but he gave no detail, and then argued that would help our unskilled folks who are not working. Flat population growth equals flat economic growth and until Americans start having three kids, or we run out of physical space immigration legal and undocumented can still have a positive economic impact on this country......just another candidate trying to out scapegoat immigrants and appeal to the xenophobic core of the republican party.

Flat population growth? It's a result of having aborted 70+ million babies since Roe V Wade was made law and abortion legalized. Where would the population be had Roe V Wade never been made law? Hmmmmm. Businessmen like you want cheap labor at the cost of creating a permanent underclass that never has an opportunity and what you've done by allowing every Juan, Ricardo, and Jimenez across the border without consequence is to marginalize legal citizens who can't find a decent job because the aforementioned folks will undercut the average wage of a worker. That's what happens when you have a glut of workers and not enough jobs for them. You know,, it's a supply/demand economic principle.
