...in the end the ones who benefit are our nations economy with increased revenue and an increased GDP. This would give businesses more profits to expand and higher even more skilled employees, which require higher education. That would be to the benefit of the American employee.
As long as the "net effect" of illegal immigration is zero. The realistic goal says there is a yearly increase of 400k and the GDP is offset by the social cost (you'll have to refer to the sources above for specifics cause it won't fit here).

If people are cheaper than the machines, then all you need is more people to pick, and not "higher educated" involved with said machinery. With the profits, expand they will, with an almost limitless supply of willing laborers and government policies ensuring the constant influx of cheap labor to keep the cost down. This is what rmnunez was talking about back on page 2 of this thread.
