1) How immigration and inflation are linked by Bonnie Erbe: "How are illegal immigration and inflation tied together? In 2005, Bear, Stearns Senior Managing Director Robert Justich and a team of his economists issued a study on the impact of illegal immigration on U.S. economic indicators. They found that undocumented immigrants account for some 8 percent of American workers, a much higher figure than the government reports. Justich's report explained that the number of people counted in productivity calculations is artificially boosted when there are more people working than are reported to the government. American productivity is based on the amount our economy produces divided by the number of people working. If there are a lot more people working than the government takes into account, this makes productivity look artificially high. It can also help to conceal underlying inflation."
2) India growing source of U.S. illegal immigrants by Mike Swift: Turning stereotypes on their head, a recent federal analysis of unauthorized immigration says the most rapidly growing source of illegal immigration is India -- the same country whose engineers and programmers help power Google and other Silicon Valley companies, whose doctors heal the Bay Area's sick, and whose entrepreneurs and venture capitalists have become a force on both sides of the international date line.
The U.S. Dept of Homeland Security estimates there are 270,000 unauthorized Indian natives in the United States -- a 125 percent jump since 2000, the largest percentage increase of any nation with more than 100,000 illegal immigrants in the United States. . . . Yet, considering the high level of education of many Indians, immigration experts say the federal report hints at a new phenomenon: a highly-skilled undocumented workforce to go along with the nation's sizable numbers of low-skilled illegal workers.
If trends continue, within three years India would trail only Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala as a source of illegal immigration. Another national immigration expert, Jeffrey S. Passel of the Pew Hispanic Center, estimates that the number of illegal Indians is even higher, at 400,000 people. Virtually all entered the U.S. legally but violated the terms of their visas, say experts who study the nation's much maligned immigration system.
