Illegal immigration robs the poorest Americans:
"America needs more low-skilled immigrants like Chicago needs more gun laws. But you wouldn’t know that listening to the debate on 'comprehensive immigration reform.' The next amnesty bill ought to be titled, 'The American Worker Impoverishment Act of 2013.' ...While the economy as a whole does benefit from immigration in GDP growth, Americans do not share equally in the benefits. A steady flow of immigrant labor into the economy each year makes poor Americans poorer and increases the number of children raised in low-income households. Here are some numbers from the report by professor George Borjas of Harvard University. Immigration in total results in a gain to the American economy of $1.6 trillion. Of this gain, 97.8 percent goes to the immigrants themselves."
