Both arguments do have their rationale which seems true from their respective perspectives.

Here we go off on a tangent again. Immigration would drive down labor costs and that would decrease or limit inflation. But, why are we looking at the problem from the viewpoint of the WEALTHY employers? The problem with immigrants is that the US does NOT need or want any more (especially illegal ones that the 1st thing that they do in the US is break our laws.) (They are ILLEGAL.) This means that we as a country do NOT want them. Who are they driving down labor costs for? That is hurting real US citizens that are in the construction industry.
........Real US citizens whose fathers were in the Army and risk their lives. Citizens whose fathers and mothers worked as policemen and women. (As teachers, as nurses, as coaches, as scoutmasters, and etc). The non-real US citizens (aka illegals) - their fathers and mothers worked in some South American country as whatever and many have ZERO skills. They were NOT EDUCATED in the US school system so they speak marginal English. And they did NOT have years of getting the proper shots in school.
Why should these illegals get to compete for a job with a US citizen that may have been in the US Army while they were in the Nicaraguan Army? Fair is fair and the US is overcrowded as it is at 350 million people. US roads and highways, Airline infrastructure, and weak public school system are all OVER STRETCHED with too many people and U S quality of LIFE is in a downward spiral and unable to solve many important problems.
.........The US competes with many other 1st world countries........ and illegal aliens that can't even speak English are only going to make ALL of US society WORSE!
