"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.

"California Republican Party officials might have violated federal immigration law by hiring an Australian immigrant for a top finance post without ever demanding to see his proof of legal residence, immigration officials said Tuesday," report Carla Marinucci and Lance Williams in the Chron. "Ron Nehring, who heads the California Republican Party, admitted Tuesday that he -- and as far as he knows, any party officials -- never saw the green card that would prove that Michael Kamburowski, an Australian citizen hired as the state GOP's chief operations officer, was a legal resident. "A spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement Division said Tuesday the law is clear that 'it is the responsibility of the employers to check and see that someone is legally in the country and eligible to work.'"
