According to Obama his policy of legalizing illegals is his attempt to help the middle class.

I ask anyone to explain to me how bringing in large amounts of 3rd world citizens to drive down wages helps the middle class.

This study seems to support my position on this matter:

Government data show that since 2000 all of the net gain in the number of working-age (16 to 65) people
holding a job has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal).

If unskilled, non-English speaking, third world people take your job, it means that your job sucks.

Go to school, I say.

You are a snob who knows nothing about how most people survive in this world.

There simply are not enough paper pusher jobs to go around.

But hey, even the tech industry is pushing for more immigrants since highly skilled Indian workers are willing to work for much less than their American counter parts.

Even so, how is it that immigrants are helping the middle class?

Did Obama really say something that stupid?

It wouldn't surprise me.

Yes he did, Rush played part of a speech Obama gave where Obama linked his immigration policy as good for the middle class.

I have a question for your Seitse, what percentage of the population has an IQ that is in the double digits?
