I'm still not for closing the borders and going into "Fortress America" mode, but neither do I have any illusions of being able to support the illegals without creating a noticeable drag on our system.

Immigration, esp. illegal immigration, is a major reason (probably the main reason) why "the poor are getting poorer). First of all many of the poorest 5% or 1% are going to be recent (often illegal) immigrants. They might actually be getting richer, but since they are poorer then the previous poorest x% the stats show the poor as getting poorer (ignoring the fact that they poorest x% are not the same people from year to year.) Also they drag down wages for other unskilled people.
