Immigration to the USA continues to increase.  Immigrants are a mix of highly educated highly skilled - look at the doctors and nurses of most hospitals.

And many low skilled jobs are done by migrants - landscaping, fast food, etc.

Illegal immigration has flattened.  You would never know it based on political screeds.

This is an interesting article that explains illegal immigration in substantial detail. The truth is of course much more complex then the political screeching.

What Drives Illegal Immigration?

It is the success of our economy, which is the most dynamic in the world, and the failure of economy in many countries. Young people desparate for jobs make the difficult and dangerous trek from central and South America to the Mexican/American border and then sneak across.

How do we stop this?  Tank our economy.
