Illegal immigrants and their offspring are the only reason the U.S. is actually growing in population. Otherwise, our growth rate would actually be negative.

Is that really a bad thing?

 

From an economic growth standpoint...yes.  It is much easier to grow your GDP if you have a larger workforce and more people spending money in your country.  You are actually hurting your country's economic growth with harsh immigration policies (assuming obviously that you aren't already supersaturated like China).

This is another reason I find the Republican Party's stance on immigration kind of confusing.  It is anti-business.

It's not really there stance.  They've got a split stance on that one... and aren't likely to change it any time soon.
