There's a reason New York isn't the poorest place in the US.
I'm sorry, I don't understand this logic. So if we have 100 job openings in one town, and there are 150 people out of work (logic assumes that 50 people will still be out of work) and then all of a sudden you add in 100 more people that are legally eligible to work, that someone adds value? So 100 jobs, 250 workers, somehow that's going to prompt people to all of a sudden go, yes, we have more workers! YAY! No. Wrong. Unless it is financially possible and beneficial, jobs won't be suddenly created because the work force grows. If people want to become legal citizens in this country, let them do it the right way, not weasel them in because "they've been here for a while illegally."
