Now if you make it more difficult for immigration, these lower skilled jobs will not be filled. Business will not be able to effectively compete in the United States as they will have to pay those skilled laborers more money to do a job. This causes the cost of goods or services the business produces to go up. They now either have to run on smaller profit margins or choose an alternative and outsource their labor to another country.
Now the jobs that the immigrants would have filled have been moved overseas.
I just spent an entire semester of grad school on this topic. I am in no way an expert on this subject but I did have to do research on the topic. Their are the drawbacks of Healthcare, unpaid taxes and education...but others are overlooking the benefits of immigrants producing and purchasing goods in our economy.
