That's a good point you make about employers wanting immigration to keep downward pressure on wages. At the same time the employers are contributing to politicians who are paying lip service to tightening immigration but the "problem" persists. Non-citizen workers pay into SS with contributions but will they ever collect?

As a side not I have always thought the unions although they are a good thing have been a driving force through strikes in auto and other skilled labor jobs leaving the US. Jobs going offshore is the employers answer to strikes. The unions have shot themselves in the foot.
