    When people come to a country, whether legally or not, they have to
    find ways to get work (who is going to give them money otherwise?),
    and that contributes to the economy. After all, legal or not, a dollar
    is a dollar.

    This economic study <https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/trumps-immigration-crackdown-is-cutting-jobs-for-us-born-workers-study-finds/5CYOWUQQ3VCC3LU3HJFEO3ZAQM/>
    is showing that TrumprCOs anti-immigration crackdown is causing loss of
    jobs to legal residents as well. That really shouldnrCOt come as a big surprise. But of course the Powers That Be must resolutely deny that
    any such thing is happening, because their ideological doctrine says
    so, and damn the facts!
