.@milo9 @24AheadDotCom To be clear, those are the number of people immigrating for 2012 (i.e. new immigration)

From @milo9
@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Wiki charts are refer to legal immigrants. Reducing legal immigration is a separate issue.

@Glaivester @24AheadDotCom Per Pew, New illegal immigration has risen .2 million since recession is over (?). Figure is within margin error

From @milo9
@24AheadDotCom I don't understand your point & how immigration & Wall Mart mix. Explain it to me.

.@milo9 @24AheadDotCom Big business wants more unskilled immigrants so there is more competition for jobs. More labor supply = lower wages.

.@hiltzikm: CBO Dir. Elmendorf: "...would be 0.1% lower in 2023 and 0.5% higher in 2033 under the legislation than under current law"

.@24AheadDotCom Because influx of lower-wage workers brings the avg down. CBO: doesnt "imply that current US residents would be worse off."

@hiltzikm @24AheadDotCom Thanks Hiltzik, the simplest problems seemed to be ignored.

From @Glaivester
.@milo9 @hiltzikm @24AheadDotCom Don't the CBO numbers assume that enforcement provisions of bill will be honored? Never were in past.

From @milo9
@Glaivester @hiltzikm @24AheadDotCom Current immigration is near zero. Why? No jobs. Employers must be punished if they employ undocked.
Glaivester's avatar
From @Glaivester
.@milo9 @hiltzikm @24AheadDotCom Are you advocating punishing employers or saying that they ARE being punished?

From @milo9

@Glaivester @hiltzikm @24AheadDotCom That's no good. But I have to verify that. It sounds like a RW meme.
