Robert Samuelson? I think he would be considered a liberal. Robert Samuelson produced an oped on May 17. 2006. this year. He deals directly with the question of immigration. This is what he said: The central problem is not Illegal immigration. it is undesirably high levels of poor and lowskilled immigrants. whether legal or illegal. Immigrants are not all the same. An engineer making $75.000 annually contributes more to the American economy and society than a $20.000 laborer. On average. an engineer will assimilate easily. He quotes favorably Professor Chiswick. and I just quoted from his testimony before the hearing.
