That is true. So? Let's get to the root of the problem and first of all, help them get to college. Let's try and fix that without "assuming" all latinos= illegals. I could wipe my ..... with "speculation". Specially based on FAIR's credentials. lol More "speculation". So all this is actually about....helping latinos in the US? How noble of "FAIR" and you. How sweet.
Since you purposely grouped all latinos into one category, I shall do the same and finish by saying that I sure want to get my hands on those latino $1- trillion- by- 2010 purchasing dollars. I have no doubt that there is no worst case scenario- not even one by FAIR- capable of offsetting the benefit of 1 TRILLION dollars into our economy.
I urge everyone to research that joke called "FAIR" and latino workforce and economic numbers. Maybe you'll also find the thread starter's argument shifts quite telling.
Edit: By the way. I do think porous borders and illegal immigration are problems we need to deal with pronto.
I believe in workers' programs and amnesty to those who have been here paying taxes and contributing to our economy long enough.

The study actually concentrated on LEGAL latino immigrants, not illegals.
The study showed that further high immigration rates hinder advancement for latinos.
You cannot force people to get educated. Its more of a community effort than a govmnt effort, although if they can come up with something that works, I'm all for it.
Getting rid of bilingual education is one way to help.
As for FAIR, they had nothing to do with the article, thats why i thought some of you might find it difficult to jump all over a respected economist writing an article that FAIR could have written itself, saying essentially the same things I have said and that FAIR have said.
Unfortunately, your mind's made up and anything contradictory to your views is automatically racist or just plain wrong.
Amnesty? They don't deserve it and shouldn't get it.
Let them get back in line with everyone else.
