Thanks for bringing that article up. I'd say immig not only has a small effect on wages, it has a small negative effect on any aspect of our lives. And the positives are huge. Look at how immig, legal and illegal (we can rarely tell the difference), affects us positively, all the folks in restaurants, hotels, strawberry fields, our homes, local cultural centers, doing work and producing things that benefit us.

Let's face it, illegals are being exploited as whipping boys and girls for cynical politicians. Is it REALLY that hard to believe that politicians would do such a thing? Especially when Iraq and the economy are not going real well.
