"many of the ILLEGAL immigrants who are coming in are the ones who are unskilled, and therefore are apt to be much more of a drain on our economy for the next twenty years, at a minimum. The people who are educated can and do make a positive economic impact nearly immediately."

Even those can have a positive economic impact. When both parents in a family work and they have medical insurance (or pay their medical bills without welfare) they are not a big drain on the economy. When people spend at or near their total earnings the money they earn recycles through the economy increasing the velocity of money. At any given money supply when the velocity of money increases, the economy experiences growth. When they export dollars to support family abroad it damps their positive economic impact.
