Then they shouldn't object if we get some immigration laws and start enforcing them.

However we know they would scream bloody murder which means immigration is still an issue.

Immigration, possibly. Illegal immigration, hardly.

It's certainly not true where I live, they're moving over in very large numbers. Not necessarily coming across the border illegally because it's pretty easy for them to get what they call a shopping visa or visitor visa or border crossing card. They cost only $140 and are good for ten years, they cost next to nothing for children and they're a great way to come if you want to pack your things can relocate yourself to the USA, they can legally come in, but they can illegally stay as long as they please. No one at all is making sure they're out by the time they should be out.

There are multiple sources that suggest illegal immigration has stabiliized and that the illegal immigration population has in fact decreased.

You have credible evidence this is not true?

I would be very skeptical that such a condition would be maintained in the event of a strong US economic recovery. But the work seekers are going elsewhere for now.

As per recent data illegal immigration has gone down It always happens during recession times few people come to United States for work
Even the legal H-1B which brings highly educated people to US is still available in good economic times it becomes unavailable within a month of becoming available

How on earth would they know if illegal immigration has stabilized, or the numbers have declined? How do they count the illegal alien population?

What is the source for their "recent" data? It certainly can't be the Census Bureau.
