The Center for Immigration Studies is a right wing anti-immigrant organization listed as a Hate Group by the SPLC. The director is a heavy contributor to National Review, not the most balanced source of information on immigration.
That however, is no reason to reject what they have to say out of hand. What is a good reason is that they are using data from 2011 with no updates, and make admitted assumptions about what actually takes place when an immigrant arrives here.
It's still a tool better than nothing and could be tweaked to make it better. The best solution is to deter them at the border so they can't get into our country in the first place but Biden refuses to finish the wall, end "catch and release" and did away with Trump's "wait in Mexico" policy.
Removing all of the incentives for them to come here besides jobs is another deterrant against illegal entry but again the Democrats refuse to take those steps also. Their constant promises of another amnesty is another incentive that brings them here.

They are not anti-"immigrant"! They are anti-illegal alien and for legal immigration to be in more reasonable numbers! Get your facts straight! How does any of the above equate to hatred? The SPLC is the hate group!
Immigrant or illegal alien which one are you talking about?
Many illegal aliens do get refunded taxes more than they pay into the system that law is still n place. Prove me wrong!
Follow the money and you'll understand why both parties have dropped the ball on illegals.
Moreso it's the Democrats especially via this administration but by your own admittance it means nothing to you as you don't think it negatively impacts you or your race.
Not only that but there are unlimited visas for legal farm workers so why are the farmers/growers hiring any illegal aliens except to increase their profits?
I always wanted to know what a six-dollar tomato tastes like. Get rid of the immigrants, you will find out.
This crap again? There are unlimited visas for legal, foreign crop pickers and only a small percentage of illegal aliens are picking crops. Geezus, educate yourself on this issue, will you?
Which means their labor generated ten or more times that amount that stayed right here.
Wrong! They contribute about 19 million a year in taxes opposed to the over $100 billion that they cost us. You really are uninformed on this topic either that or you have a vested interest in supporting illegal immigration. I suspect the latter.
One thing I think about when it comes to Illegals. They will work at some very thankless, dirty, and brutal jobs. And they will do it for less than what legal immigrants and American citizens will do it for. Being college educated and skilled, I don't ever want to work at a meatpacking plant. It is grueling, dangerous work. And the pay isn't great. At least the pay on an oil rig is better.
Stopping illegal immigration is easy: Enforce the laws we have. Stop hiring illegals. However, some businesses won't do that. Why? Then you'd have to pay the local population better. Illegals are reluctant to complain about pay and working conditions. They know what will happen. They'll get dropped and then deported. Americans, on the other hand, expect alot more. They will not only speak up, they'll quit in a heartbeat.
