I have a question for ya.

What would the unemployment rate be if we didn't have so many immigrants either not entering the U.S. who would have, or actually going back home (legal or otherwise)? This article below just talks about Mexico, but my guestimate is that we would have at least another million people who were newly unemployed so far this year. Anybody else have more reliable data on this out there?

It's kind of handy to just have a border system that allows for this kind of easy flow of people depending on how the economy happens to be doing. One might even ponder if it was no accident???
