>>We agree on this subject then. However, the point of my argument is that we shouldn't allow ILLEGAL immigrants. If the government wants to come up with another immigrant worker proram, that's fine. Your argument that the illegal are only taking the low paying job doesn't wash though. there are may hispanics all over the U.S. that are working as carpenters, plumbers, brick layers, electricians, etc. They are taking good paying jobs and not paying their fare share.

>Or sometimes they are paying for something they'll never get. I've recently heard of an incredibly large amount of money (hundreds of billions, AFAIR) being poured into social security for the guys with bogus SSNs - which automatically means these guys are also paying for someone's Medicare, paying federal and state taxes, while getting nothing for that (and can't file for tax return either, because their SSN is fake).

>Something else is bothering me: when I learned these things, the definition of free market included three basic freedoms of movement: of money, commodities and workforce. Now money moves freely across the world (anyone can invest anywhere, almost), commodities are traded in all directions... but somehow globalization fails to include the freedom of movement of workforce. I have some ideas on how that came to be overlooked, but you probably wouldn't like it.

Fire away. You are always worth listening to.
