Answer: YES: We do need legal immigrants in two sectors: 1) At the lower-skilled level, such as crop harvesters, hotel staff, and jobs Americans do not want, and then at 2) the highest skill levels in the area of programmers, engineers and other hard sciences where we have huge unfilled demand and an insufficient domestic supply. Our economy is losing out to Canada where high tech firms have started to migrate as a result of more enlightened and welcoming immigration policies.
When immigrants are highly skilled and hard-working they help make all of us more productive. The taxes they pay are critical for keeping Social Security and Medicare funded. Foreign-born scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs are very important for helping America remain a world leader in technology and innovation. But America let in low-skilled immigrants at a faster pace than the economy could absorb, which depressed wages for the lowest-paying jobs.
