The idiot in the video did not mention or differnetiate between legal and illegal immigrants...in fact since he talked about Congress reducing those allowed to immigrate he is specifically talking about legal immigrants.
To answer your question...it is obvious to me that our economy must need more blue collared immigrants then the current rules allow. Illegals do not come here to not work. They come to work..if there was no work...they'd be no illiegals. So...I say...in a free economy as we have...it's obvious we must need them...or we wouldnt be hiring them.
Now as some say..the illegals ..are driving down wages...I wonder. They do fill some jobs that "A-Mericans" are just too good to do anymore...I beleive higher paid "A-Merican" welders...and other tradesmen are employed at union construction projects and government contract sites. Their gravitation to those higher paid union/governemnt jobs has left a void in the "right to work" environment created by non-union states like VA. So...do we need illegals...yes..in a non-unionized state like VA...we do!
