Leaving votes/voting aside as that treads into prohibited waters and is in of itself a debatable topic, cheap labor and doing jobs no one else wants to do is proposed as a benefit to having uncontrolled immigrants over what controlled immigrants offer.

The presumption therefore is that no one, or not enough people, who enter as a controlled immigrant is willing to work cheaply or do jobs no one else wants to do. I am not sure that conclusion would be supportable, however, let us presume that it is. Changing the focus of controlled immigration to finding cheap manual labor should address that issue. It would seem to be an effective, easy change to make. So, what other benefits do uncontrolled immigration provide that controlled immigration does not?
