Was former Fed chief Alan Greenspan wrong when he said undocumented workers...?

in his 2001 congressional testimony, “contribute more than their fair share to our great country”?

The rest of the linked article is interesting too. It's funny how when you search on the words "undocumented workers" you come up with stats that are totally different from when you search on "illegal immigrants". Go figure!

Answer:
Yes, he is THE "expert" on our economy.He was responsible for so much wealth creation during the Clinton administration.And now for so many having home ownership.The man knows his stuff
Alan Greenspan lied about a lot of issues, illegal aliens being one of them.
just a thought, but maybe the stats on "undocumented workers" differ from "illegal immigrants", because not all illegal immigrants are workers.
I don't care how much they contribute or take away, the fact remains that they are here illegally and thus show a genuine disregard for our laws and our culture. Anyone who supports them and helps them stay in this country is, by my book, aiding and abetting a criminal.

Besides, this country was doing marvelous when we were just allowing the immigrants in this country who came here legally and contributed, so maybe their "contributions" aren't so needed after all.
All I can say is. NO AMNESTY!
there is nothing our govt has to say interest me. they are nothing but communist, and want to destroy this country.
Alan Greenspan is a Globalist, has a regular seat at the Davao's meeting. His kind want to flood the USA with low skilled docile workers this is not what America is. We are supposed to be free peoples not slaves to live in squalor.

We will win in the long run, deport the masses of illegals and restore the standard of living we have enjoyed before NAFTA and GAT and the massive flood of impoverished peoples.


PS Angela, check out the fact that foreclosures of new home buyers are up 100% / home prices are plumeting as a result of shady loans to immigrants
The only reason this immigration dealie was put in the public anyway was to divert our attention from the real problem - the war in Iraq and the corruption of the Bush people.

Administrations have done this almost since the first president. Throw the populace a bone to chew on and they won't come after your goose liver pate.

Give them someone to hate and they won't notice you are raping the country.

Get the peasant all riled up about not having enough straw to make bricks and they won't notice that the Lord of the Manor uses steel and they are all out of work.

If some of these people would just stop, read a little about the history of undocumented workers in our country, stop listening to the loud-mouth rabble rousers who are in the business of keeping them in a frenzy, the issue would go away.

Amnesty is what ALWAYS happens.I am pushing 70, and amnesty is the way our country deals with this issue.that is the ONLY way they have ever dealt with it.

People need to pay attention to what is happening in Washington, what those people are doing to our country, our young soldiers in Iraq. THAT's the problem.not border hoppers looking for work.
He was absolutely correct in his statement.
