Are you seriously telling me that jobs are being done by immigrants because of lack of american popullation?? Or did i misunderstand you?
OR is it more like 40 million more babies to feed from the tax revenues due to non working parents who are physically capable to work???
And let us not forget about the highest scientific--research etc. jobs that are also taken by immigrants due to our education system in this first world country declining yearly--worse with Bush than any other president???

If we hadn't aborted 40 million people, we'd have their tax revenue, too.
