Not only are the illegals lowering American wage scales but there is now evidence they are continually lowering the previous illegals wage scales. An ever devolving wage scale, another reason to end illegal immigration NOW.

And, while I disagree with the writers perspective on legalizing current illegals, the remainder of his analysis is fair.
"We could also make more sensible decisions about legal immigrants -- favoring the skilled over the unskilled. But the necessary steps are much tougher than most politicians have so far embraced, and their timidity reflects a lack of candor about the seriousness of the problem. The stakes are simple: Will immigration continue to foster national pride and strength or will it cause more and more weakness and anger?"
