Larry Kudlow, writing for the conservative journal <i><span style='font-style:

current legislation. 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. <br>
<br>
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."<br>
