Most of those 80,000 unborn people would have had enough opportunities in life so that they could avoid having to do the bulk of the jobs that illegals perform. The low income statistics are flawed. Most abortions occur in women under 25. While it is true that these women are low income - sub $25K - in many cases, this is more attributable to youth than economic-caste. Please remember that the average college graduate only makes a bit over $22K in their 1st year out of college - but goes up quickly after that. Illegal Immigration is a decided threat to American safety, but we need to base our complaints on facts, not on easily refuted propaganda.
