"The wages would not fall if the immigrants could claim equal rights, that's why they work for slave wages; because they can be deported. If they couldn't be deported, they could unionize with the u.S. workers and all demand equal pay."

You cannot be pro-amnesty and pro-open borders and be truly concerned about free trade and globalization issues. Leftists who are pro-amnesty and pro-open borders are being played for idiots by the Wall Street Journal editorial page.

They most assuredly are not. Blacks and Hispanics in California are at each others throats because illegals are pushing Blacks out of the job market.
