Oops

Immigration and Jobs Link Is Disputed - New York Times: "In the furious debate over immigration, advocates of reducing the inflow have argued that the millions of foreigners who came to the United States in the last decade took jobs from American workers. But a study released yesterday by the Pew Hispanic Center found that there was no evidence to support that claim for the country as a whole."

Maybe that will stop some of this hysteria from the right. Or maybe not:
"Conservatives are outraged that a strict new immigration bill in Colorado still allows children of undocumented immigrants to receive public assistance like food and healthcare: "We're helping create the next generation of terrorists," said Rep. Debbie Stafford, R-Aurora."

Sigh.
