I, for one, don't need a large study to tell me what common sense and just a bit of empirical observation makes apparent
America generates a sufficient supply of lowly sk**led and educated people - there is no need to import them, and
the home generated lowly sk**led and educated require considerable support from the government in order to subsist by our own standards, so there is every reason on the world to expect imported lowly sk**led and educated will require the same thing.

For what it is worth, I've been preaching the same sermon for quite some time. I******s cost us about 84 billion dollars last year alone. These figures are for the cost of Food Stamps, Welfare, Medical, and Incarceration. In other words, you and I pay for wetbacks' groceries, housing, education and anchor babies while they work under the table and with false IDs and send some 56 billion dollars a year back to their home countries. This amnesty has been misrepresented and oversold ad nauseum. A few of my favorite lies:
Secure the Border. CBS News, hardly the conservative v**ers' friend, has reported that illegal border crossings are up some 300% in anticipation of AMNESTY.
I******s will have to pay back taxes: This is one of the more creative lies; what it actually says is i******s have to pay taxes assessed by the IRS. Since they mostly work under the table or with false IDs, how is the IRS supposed to assess anything? There is not even a requirement for them to prove how long they have been in this country, for Christ's sake! I guess we are just supposed to take their word for it, they having proved themselves so honest and trustworthy, and all that.
I******s will not be eligible for benefits for (pick a number) of years. They aren't eligible now, but that doesn't change the act that almost all of them are receiving these benefits anyway, by gaming our sieve-like system.
These are not, as I have said many times, a bunch of starry eyed immigrants in search of a better life via the "American Dream." they are freeloading l***hes for the most part, who will begin working the system for every freebie they can get as soon as they arrive, aided by misguided Liberals morons, in search of a new pool of gullible future v**ers. During the 1960s, our immigration policy was geared toward high sk**led, educated immigrants who contributed more than they took. The "Hero of Chappaquidick," Ted hisself Kennedy, fixed that, by pushing new immigration guidelines approved by President Comrade Johnson, in his pursuit of the "Great Society."
I digressed a little there. Not one of this bill's supporters have addressed the big probem, the 800 pound gorilla in the room; How are these 11,000,000 current "amnesty candidates" and more than 20,000,000 of their freeloading brethren which will be foisted off on us in the next 10 years affect that masterpiece of Liberalthink: Obamacare? It's already FAR over budget and hasn't even been fully implemented yet. These i******s, over time, will cost far more in entitlements than they pay in taxes, costing us even more. They will be the only beneficiaries, unless you include the Liberal Socialist wing of the Democratic Party, which will gain about 30.000,000 new v**ers.
There is no single solution to the immigration problem, but I have several partial ones:
Secure the damn border!!!!!
Forget "profiling," require ID.
Heavy fines and mandatory jail time for employers who knowingly hire i******s.
Better still, remake our i*********n l*ws to mirror those of Mexico, and see how they like them apples.
V**e against any member of the House or Senate who supports this. Trust me, politicians, for the most part, are NOT your friend. Let them know you are watching. Write, e mail and call them constantly.

If people can v**e without ID, you don't really think they can't get welfare without it, do you?
