Illegal immigration

[rnen]

Both Obama and McCain support legalizing the estimated 20 million illegal immigrants in the country.
How do you think this will impact the country?

Will it be an overall benifit or detriment to not only the economy but the American “culture”?

What impact will it have on the cost of social services?

The average illegal immigrant makes $18k/yr so will contribute next to nothing in terms of taxes and SS contributions.

Do you think given the state of the economy that the next president will move forward with legalizing the illegal immigrants.

If so, it would be ironic.

Some of my coworkers who are still 4-5 years out waiting for a conversion on their H1-B to green card as a tech worker would probably be naturalized sooner if they just crawled in from south of the border.
Lol, this system is so messed up.

We already pay for them – when their children are registered in our schools, when they show up in our emergency rooms, when they drive up uninsured driver premiums.

It probably would have been beneficial for the cost of social services if we could deport everyone. But we can’t. Legalization will not raise those costs much further. It may even bring them down a bit. Annual checkups are much cheaper than surgeries and ICUs.

I think it will be a net positive.

Getting them above-board and on the books is better than having them under the table, in my opinion.

Easy immigration is probably our countries greatest strength (why do you think all the best people in the world want to move to the US?); I’m always suprised how many Americans are against it. Especially considering that odds are that at least one of their grand parents were immigrants.
