[Vision2020] "Illegals" OK only if they fight in Iraq

[keely emerinemix]

The H2B program is a good start, but, as Nick says, has a quota that makes it a virtually guaranteed failure.  And while I would question that "only 10 percent" of undocumented Mexican workers send a child to public school, it is indisputable that most of us benefit, from the dinner table to the pension table, from their work.
 
Legalize 'em, I say -- if they've got no criminal record, are gainfully employed, and pay a processing fee/penalty.  Yes, it's a very personal issue for me, but I feel able to argue it from a humanitarian and an economic perspective.

He urges Congress to expand the ridiculously low unskilled H-2B quota from 140,000 to the millions of visas that are needed for our service and agricultural economy.  Kudlow also reminds Americans that "illegals have [paid] $7 billion to Social Security and $1.5 billion to Medicare. They are contributing to our wealth, not reducing it."  He also adds that "only 10 percent of illegal Mexicans have sent a child to an American public school and just 5 percent have received food stamps or unemployment benefits."Nick Gier
