Immigrants not so bad after all

Last December, a report was issued by the Pawlenty administration that purported to show how much immigrants cost the state. The report was highly dubious and neglected lots of key information, such as how much revenue immigrants raised. Now, a new report from the Legislative Auditor shows that they earlier report was, in fact, wrong: in the long term, legal immigrants are a net gain, although at the local level that may not be the case.

Something to ponder.
