Thought this was interesting. Seems to be advocating in slowing legal immigration. I like the sound of this since I am in favor of a 1924 style immigration act.

I wish they'd tell us something we don't know and start lining up some legislation to fix the problem. I don't want more talk, I want to see the bills being presented, but that will never happen because it's almost voting time again.

Immigrants are consumers.
Immigrants pay sales tax and often even pay some income tax.
Immigrants help keep labor costs low in the United States.
These are the reasons that we will not see anyone address the immigration problem. However there actually is an immigration problem for a portion of the population. That is the unskilled laborer who can't find work at a decent wage. But they are poor, so the politicians will not so a lot to help them.

The fact they keep labour costs down is one of the principle reasons we need to close off a large portion of all immigration. The blue collar worker needs a chance to see their wage increase.

The capitalist can simply choose to pay a fair wage to US blue collar workers rather than choosing not to do so. It's that simple. Or are you suggesting the immigrants are holding their bosses at gun point forcing the captains of industry to provide lower wages and no benefits?
No. But when they are used to working for pennies then it makes a difference. No business is going to pay more than they have to.... But the immigration policy currently is anti worker. which I do not think is right. When they closed off immigration before we saw a 30 year boon.
