That darn left leaning Cato
Immigration Good for America?” In 13 articles, 16 scholars answer with a resounding “Yes!” The consensus is that immigrants provide a net benefit to the U.S. economy and to U.S. workers. There is also a consensus among the authors that the current immigration system, with its patchwork of arbitrary numerical caps, needlessly squanders the full economic potential of immigration. The authors call for a thorough revamping of the immigration system to make it more responsive to labor demand, to attract highly skilled professionals and entrepreneurs, and to offer a pathway to legal status for the unauthorized population.
http://immigrationimpact.com/2012/02...ited-states-2/
In sum, the contributors to this issue of the Cato Journal make a compelling case for the creation of a rational immigration system that offers the greatest benefit to both immigrant and native-born workers, and which adds the greatest value to the U.S. economy. As the authors emphasize, this would be a welcome change from the current dysfunctional system, which has facilitated the growth of an unauthorized population now numbering 11 million. While the federal government may be unwilling to tackle immigration reform, the status quo is clearly unacceptable—and unsustainable.

Only a bunch of total political hacks would agree bringing in poor and uneducated workers (and their dependent families) who cannot get decent jobs in their own dysfunctional country would make our country better.
We need rich, young, healthy, well educated immigrants, not cheap labor for sleazy builders and water wasting California farmers.

Really.....
The Cato Institute is an American libertarian think tank headquartered in Washington, D.C. It was founded as the Charles Koch Foundation in 1974 by Ed Crane, Murray Rothbard, and Charles Koch, [6] chairman of the board and chief executive officer of the conglomerate Koch Industries. [nb 1] In July 1976, the name was changed to the Cato Institute. [6][7] Cato was established to have a focus on public advocacy, media exposure and societal influence. [8] According to the 2014 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report ( Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program, University of Pennsylvania), Cato is number 16 in the "Top Think Tanks Worldwide" and number 8 in the "Top Think Tanks in the United States". [9] Cato also topped the 2014 list of the budget-adjusted ranking of international development think tanks. [10]

Actually according to government figures, illegal immigrants start new business at a faster rate than every group other than legal immigrants.

Since we have so much data on immigration, why don't we study which immigrants succeeded and why. I'll bet the successful ones had money and education more often than not, and the uneducated and poor ones cost us money.

Thank you for essentially conceding the point that we need rich immigrants, nor poor and exploitable laborers with little education.
We clearly can ignore the Cato institute, also, according to your logic.
