This logic escapes me...

The other side of the coin would be that now that more than 10 million people are now considered Americans who can start milking off of the welfare system. The companies that currently hire them would be forced to pay at least minimum wage. Price of goods (esp. produce) would drastically increase. Not to mention it would create over 10 million instant Democrats before a VERY critical election and is coming up in the near future!

Hahahaha, true

Total FAIL!

It's kind of funny to hear people talk about immigration being a problem. It's working just fine. The idea is to drive down labor prices.

Immigration IS a problem, and the idea has nothing to do with driving down the price of labor, although that's the side effect that gets RINOs all hot and bothered in support of amnesty/porous borders; the idea is to import Democrats.  They can't win on facts, so our immigration system since the 60's has been designed to import as many dirt-poor Third Worlders (read: Democrat voters) as possible.

The biggest problem with it is when DPI's come into the country and instantly get on the welfare teet.

I don't believe anyone should be allowed to collect any kind of assistance till they have worked and put into the system for at least 10 years.

The welfare system should be like social security, only in case of disability should someone be allowed to draw from it.

We all know though that its not just immigrants.

Some people are taught to leech off the system.

They get pregnant at an early age and are welfare collectors their entire lives.

Again in my opinion if you're a teenager and get yourself pregnant, you should not be allowed to collect welfare.

10 years of putting in before you can take out.

Welfare,quest/Obama care,government grants for some to start business and all the time government employees to process paperwork..factor that and it's a lose lose situation

I was thinking immigration pertains to people legitimately coming to this country through the front door, you know, go through the system and such.  Apparently it applies to those who come through the back door.   Who would have thought? 

On second thought, that sounds about right 

I just lumped it all together because illegal immigration is desired just as much as the legal kind, and for the same reasons. If you can get some guy to do stuff for cheaper then why pay full price? It's the ultimate expression of the free market when you think about it. If businesses weren't heavily dependent on them then there would be no reason for them to come here.
