Bogus premise. We need immigrants to watch our kids and cut our grass? That’s a weak arguement. The issue is illegal persons in the country. If they were legal immigrants, the arguement becomes null, they are here legally and presumably doing legal work. To suggest that “high tech” work wouldn’t happen without “illegals” is not clear thinking. If we believe in a fluid free market demand side economy, the need for someone to watch our kids, cut the grass and wash the cars would create the supply.
