    right on! immigrants, who come here legally, usually want to become part of this country and assimilate into it, not harm it. They are a great source for new consumers. They will help us out of this bad economy and of the expected shortage of workers many predict because of lowered fertility rates in this country. They are the workers who help fund social security for people who are retiring now. Giving them a chance to live here legally will help them not live in fear anymore and will help us because they will contribute to our economy by paying more taxes because they will be legal!!

    Thanks for posting on this issue! I look forward to future articles on this topic!
