Illegal immigrants have been moving out of the USA, not into it.

Legal immigrants, on the other hand, are something else. I'm not sure why "native-born" Americans have any more right to jobs than immigrants who come here legally. Most "native-born" Americans are only a generation or three from their immigrant ancestry, anyhow. My great-grandfather on my father's side came to the US from Scotland to work in the mines. The great-grandfather on my mother's side immigrated from Ireland during the great wave of Irish immigrants.

We're all immigrants here, really. Only the Native Americans have a true birthright here, and they're discriminated against more than almost any group.

Hmm....
