Anyone who has done a honest study on illegal immigration in the US has
concluded that the American economy is DEPENDENT on the labor of
illegals.Ā  Our economy would crash without them.

Nice try, nope.  Illegal immigrants allow employers to cut the salaries
of legal USA citizens.  I have seen it done many times in the
engineering industry, especially software engineering.

There are very few, if any, illegal immigrants in the software engineering
field.  There are a lot of legal immigrants in the software
engineering field, and federal law requires they be paid
the same as domestic engineers.

 For that matter, software engineers who STAY in India probably have a
bigger adverse affect on American software engineer salaries then
software engineers who emigrate to the USA.

That is true now.  Just ask Boeing how well that went with the computer software for the Boeing 737 Max.
