From the Huffington Post check out This article about a revolutionary idea of bringing all illegal immigrants into the economy for many advantageous reason. One being a boost to help raise wages, increase consumption, create jobs, and generate additional tax revenue. And I'm quoting the finds from the Center for American Progress report who stated, "Taking the experience of IRCA as a starting point, we estimate that comprehensive immigration reform would yield at least $1.5 trillion in cumulative U.S. gross domestic product over 10 years".
Also another study undertaken for the Federal Reserve found a positive effect immigration has on an economy, net inflow of immigrants equal to 1% of employment increases income per worker by 0.6% to 0.9%. This implies that total immigration to the United States from 1990 to 2007 was associated with a 6.6% to 9.9% increase in real income per worker. That equals an increase of about $5,100 in the yearly income of the average U.S. worker in constant 2005 dollars. Such a gain equals 20% to 25% of the total real increase in average yearly income per worker registered in the United States between 1990 and 2007. This kind of information almost calls for action on the part of U.S. to not only stop fighting invisible borders but open them. What are your views?
