Pretty close, yes.

And any way you look at it, if you are a lazy bum the output generated is going to be low when compared to a fixed unit like time.
Anyway you look at it? Try looking at it like this.

John is a hard worker. He produces 20 widgets per hour.
George is a "lazy bum." He produces only 10 widgets per hour.

John works for $20/hr.
George works for $7/hr.

Which worker has higher productivity?

I don't understand why people fight this so much, that only contributes further to the problem. We used to be a very productive society, while maintaining a very good standard of living, now work ehtics has gone down to hell, everyone wants to make a quick buck while not making any effort, except for the one made claiming rights, whining, arguing, etc.
Why do you demonize illegals in this manner?

Stop whining!

Nowaday we overuse the claim that we support legal inmigration and hate illegal inmigration, WHAT A STUPID "CLICHE ", it means nothing, what's the difference? a piece of paper? they all have two legs, and two arms.
I agree. What's a medical degree, anyway? It's a damn piece of paper! What a stoopid requirement.

hispanic workers come here on their own, work harder than anyone, hardly
ever use government services or health services, it's a win-win situation.
We should all rejoice every time one of these workers cross the border to come here and help us with our problems.
White people suck!

Brown people rock!

and what planet are you on?
Don't whine.. what about waving mexico flags and protesting
in OUR streets.. They dont use healthcare? What about the illegal
mommies who get pregnant only to slither over here... come to
an AMERICAN hospital just to spit-out that kid! Then we have years
of welfare benifits for that kid...

Dear nvxplorer; you were doing so well until your last comment, its not about
all good or all bad, its about working together towards a common goal.

I don't think there can be a 'common goal' between a pro-illegal symp and an anti-illegal patriot. The two seem to be mutually exclusive, IMHO.

legal immigrants, maybe.

illegal immigrants are not needed and certainly will not be wanted------if anything; there will be a larger pool of US citizens/green card holders to do the 'scut work'.

I was being rhetorical whether legal immigrants would be necessary to build up the economy--although their help would be appreciated Legal immigrant=green card holder.

Read that I certainly do not believe in deporting those folks who played it by the rules.

My opinion against illegal ones still stands.
