Undocumented immigrants come to the US bringing professional and trade skills and willingness to do work that Americans won't do.
This statement should be backed up with facts. Each month the government publishes a jobs and unemployment report. We need a separate report of how many of about 10 million, mostly undocumented young single males, who arrived at the border in the last several years without legal authorization are employed and the percentage of those who are unemployed. When society has high unemployment welfare recipients will increase and many will seek income other than a job. Future immigration policy decisions need this information.
