You don't want elderly people, diseased individuals, criminals, nor large families with unskilled providers. You need a overall balance of entrants that will not be a bane to the American people. This is why an undocumented, uncontrolled, open invasion on our southern border is so disasterous. Instead of bringing a percentage of individuals who know the language, have a skill, or are educated, i.e. can provide for themselves going forward, we've simply cloned our poor, only, with the added problem of not speaking english.

50 percent of LA workforce are immigrants

LOS ANGELES, April 21 (UPI) -- Los Angeles is at the leading edge of a U.S. demographic trend, with half of its workforce immigrants, many of them unskilled and speaking little English.

As baby boomers retire, the same pattern will emerge across the country, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. Demographers estimate that by 2025 most of the growth in the workforce will be from immigrants.

Ernesto Cortes Jr., Southwest regional director of the Industrial Areas Foundation, said Los Angeles is at a crossroads.

"The question is: Are we going to be a 21st century city with shared prosperity, or a Third World city with an elite group on top and the majority at poverty or near poverty wages?" he asked. "Right now we're headed toward becoming a Third World city. But we can change that."

The Migration Policy Institute used U.S. Census data to determine that one-third of immigrants have not graduated from high school and 60 percent do not speak English fluently.

Think about the waves of immigrants from Ireland and Italy back in the day. They were a largely unskilled group but wanted to make a better life, and were tremendously successful in that over time. The difference is back then we weren't giving out any bennies to those that came.
