Mr. Navarette,
You are linking two issues that are not really the same. Immigrant labor may or may not be useful, but it is really a matter of how they arrived here.
Legal and Illegal immigration are separate issues. One is an exercise of our sovereignty, the other is a violation of our sovereignty.
Legal and Illegal immigration are separate issues. One is an equal opportunity system, the other is dominated by one nationality above all others.
Legal and Illegal immigration are separate issues. One simply supplies labor and new citizens, the other creates an exploitable underclass cut off from the government as well.
Legal and Illegal immigration are separate issues. One brings in new Americans (many of whom have fought and even died for their adopted land), the other leaves our southern border undefended for terrorists to utilize.
