When legal immigration was wide open, we didn't have any economic problems. I think the real problem is we don't want to compete. I see that a lot with foreign trade, as well. In order to boost domestic growth, we tax the hell out of imports. Can't compete with Japanese cars? Tax the hell out of them!

The President will not get his way, there is no way we're going to grant another amnesty or anything that smells like it because the 1986 amnesty solved nothing at all and we're not stupid enough to go that route again.
