we need more cheap labour.
Be careful what you ask for - you might just get it. In southeastern New York we have hundreds of thousands of Latinos (illegal immigrants, mostly) filling the low-level jobs (landscaping, construction, etc.). As a result, our streets are filled with them day and night. They rent an apartment and move in several families' worth of people. They're generally hard-working and honest people, but of course the dregs of their societies make their way here, too, so we have to deal with them. I'm all for embracing our newest wave of immigrants, as long as they take the legal road to citizenship, but we've been overwhelmed and are paying many prices for "cheap" labor. Don't kid yourself - it's no cheaper in the long-run.
