Re: ...Rush Limbaugh today commented on US employers' insistance that our economy would collapse without the flood of illegal aliens. He said it's ridiculous to make the claim that a strong economy depends on extremely low paying jobs (without benefits) and added "if that were the case, Mexico would be currently running circles around us." A reasonable bit of logic there.... Of course it's ALSO important to remember that there are really two different sets of businesses who are always lined up behind the idea of more and more immigration (legal or illegal...). The 'main street' type business organizations --- mostly smaller business (but some very large, too) pulling for an open tap to supply below minimum wage illegals for agricultural and construction and landscaping and meat packing types of jobs. And Chamber of Commerce types of big businesses ('Wall Street' types), backing increased supplies of H1, etc., work visas for 'high wage jobs'... engineers, programmers, computer-related, financial, more and more types of jobs all the time.
