If all the information you are getting on the current immigration flap comes from pundits on the right and left, you are probably confused. At the very least you've been misled.

The left sees uncontrolled immigration as some kind of divine right. The right sees liberal immigration rules (and/or non-enforcement) as a way to insure a surplus of cheap labor in order to keep wages low and to render workers powerless to change that.

In reality immigration is a simple budgeting issue. Take money -- the more you print of the stuff the less it's worth. Which is precisely why the Federal Reserve's job is to control the money supply in order to maintain a reasonably stable, productive and predictable value structure. Without controls on the money supply the economy would become a fiscal version of Mad Max.

The same goes for immigration. Here's the bottom line: It's not about the immigrants -- it's about the numbers, stupid.
