89. Wow.

"They are humans, they are immigrants and they contribute greatly to our society and economic engine."

At whose expense and whose benefit? That's the question. They contribute greatly to the profits of corporations and to the depression of wages in many industries, not to mention labor standards. They are the posterboy of libertarianism. Why have free trade and a free market without free labor? Yeah, free labor, that's the ticket to a better life for the working class!

But I guess as long as they make products here cheaper (just like China makes products in WalMart cheaper), it's all A-OK, right?
