This, and it cites some interesting sources, says that it's widely accepted among the people who research it, that immigrant workers increase the number of jobs. That if you want to lower unemployment, you bring in more immigrants. That goes against "common sense" until you read and look at the actual statistics. The only group of native born citizens hurt by immigration are those without high school diplomas.

While I would be fine with allowing more guest worker access if we actually enforced the return trips I think what we see now is not immigration for jobs but immagration for services.

If it were up to me, I would provide temp worker access with no services and no achor babies and forced return dates and then close up the border. Anyone coming across at that point is a bad guy because the good guys can use the front door.

BTW, I would not take factcheck.org as a good source of info. It has a bias as well.
