Right now we’re still in recession. We don’t need immigrants right now. After we get into recovery and the unemployment rate is down 2 percentage points, then we can talk about letting more immigrants in. Until then, no.

If we kick a million people out of the country, we lose a million people’s worth of economic activity—we decrease housing demand by a million, less people buying other goods by a million.
