Well, again I only know the California policies. I think you'd have to really look at a study on this topic. Just to make a rough guess that is admittedly a generalization, I would say that on productivity terms the illegals fall somewhere between the H1B visa workers which come in with a specified skill and the bottom rung legal immigrants allowed in for political reasons (bikini islands people, Mung etc.). The point is, just because someone is illegal, doesn't mean they come here to live off the system - in fact I think its the contrary. I know there are quotas on citizenship which imo are way too low for the non-specialized workforce (non H1B people). These are the laborers etc. We need workers like this in California which is why they come. They are not eligible for services, the legal immigrants are however. It wouldn't hurt to expand the immigrant quotas, a direct result of that would be to cut down on the illegals. I firmly believe that if our job market didn't immediately put these people to work, they would go right back to mexico. Michelle
