I don't like illegal immigration more than any other staunch conservative, but I also understand macro-economics.
putting it simply, a nation's GDP directly correlates to its population size, birth rates are falling in the entire developed world, so an influx of "citizens" to the U.S. is definitely going to unbalance the status quo today, but regardless of what ideology occupies the oval office, people are going to try to make money, wherever they are.
If your population isn't rising, then your GDP isn't rising either. Opening the gates to illegal immigrants is not ideal, its the same thing as taking the nation off of the gold standard to a fiat currency, thats how the US became an economic powerhouse overnight.
