Tamar Jacoby did a very good job on this article. He used a lot of facts. This article had a lot of information to help you understand immigration better.There is an illegal flow of immigrants coming to the United States. Between 2002 and 2012,according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. economy is expected to create some 56 million new jobs, half of which will require no more than a high school education. More than 75 million baby boomers will retire in that period.The construction industry creates some 185,000 jobs annually, and although construction workers now earn between $30,000 and $50,000 a year.

Immigration

Immigration is a large problem in the United States. Our nation has been devastated by Immigration. There are way too many illegal immigrants in the U.S. Immigration did build our country but today it is just a problem that we are dealing with. On the news it seems like all they talk about is illegal immigration. Many illegal immigrants take the jobs that some Americans are too lazy to do but they should still come to the U.S. the legal way. Immigration needs to be dealt with. I have been around immigrants and pretty much haven't had a good experience with any of them.
