I spoke with Ryan, Congressman Shuler's "immigration" aid, who was clearly a pro-amnesty supporter, on Friday. He seemed to get defensive after I mentioned that strictly enforcing our current immigration laws would trigger mass attrition/self-deportation. After talking circles around the issue stating that studies had already been conducted by the OBM in the past, which indicated illegal immigrants DO NOT negatively affect our economy, and that most Americans are not interested in the low-wage jobs, I persisted, stating that in light of the current unemployment rate, unemployed American citizens would want those jobs. He finally responded stating that yes, it would be an interesting study, however, it would be too costly.

You see, folks, the problem with the pro-amnesty supporters is that they are only interested in approaching this issue from an emotional standpoint. Pure facts would only destroy their agenda!
