What Do You Think? 1-18-11

Are Illegal Immigrants Good For The Economy
In my opinion illegal immigrants are BAD for the economy; here are some reasons why....................
1. Almost 60 percent of adult illegal immigrants lack a high school education(that's more than nine times the rate among native born Americans); this leads to many inexperienced, low-skill , workers being employed in some cases preventing american citizens from being employed.
2. 1/2 of Mexican immigrant families use AT LEAST one welfare program.
3. This means big cost for taxpayers. Workers with little education don't earn much money, so they pay little in taxes and use a lot of government services.
4. Illegal immigration also reduces the wages of unskilled Americans.


What worked for our country 100 years ago no longer does. Cutting illegal immigration level is vital to ensure Americas economic prosperity in the future, and for these reasons this is why I believe illegal immigrants are BAD for the economy.
