IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR ECONOMIC CLOUT: The Prince William Supervisors should read this

I was zooming around the Internet and I found a report written by Center for Public Affairs Research at the University of Nebraska at Omaha entitled:  
Nebraska's Immiigrant Population: Economic and Fiscal Impacts.  

I thought that the anti-immigrant zealots in Prince William County should read this.  Here are some of findings:

Those immigrants provide over $ 1 Billion in Production to the Nebraska economy, and over 12,000 jobs.

That if you got rid of all immigrants from Nebraska you would lose over $ 13 Billion in production and the state would lose over 78,000 jobs.

CAVEATS:  This report was done in Nebraska, but I think if you did a similar study in Virginia the outcomes would be pretty much the same, and they make no differentiation between legal and illegal immigration.
