Ron - I agree, the Wall Street Journal editorial staff has way too much integrity to throw in with the likes of Rupert Murdoch.

             But when whoever was running Ronald Reagan took it upon themselves to destroy America in the early 1980's, I had to move to California to survive. When I got there, everybody in the area where I lived mowed their own lawns. When I left 20 years later, nobody mowed their own lawn. Illegal aliens were doing it so cheaply that everyday Californians considered it to be beneath them.
             But it could have been that they had to work more hours at their regular jobs to support the school system that the Hispanics had destroyed. In any case, I would say these people were doing jobs that simply didn't need doing.
             In addition to that, I was on a project in Fresno for a while, where I met some people who worked for a firm that sold and did maintenance chores on grape harvesting machines. A few years earlier, it had been a thriving business, but it was closing its doors because the illegals were simply working for wages that wouldn't allow for progress. It was much the same in the South prior to the Civil War.
             The downside to illegal immigration greatly outweighs any benefits it might produce.
