*some economists say that Canada is dependent on immigrant labour, whether those immigrants are welcome or not *we can refer you to similar issues in US * study (by UCLA) in USA shows that undocumented immigrants contribute $300 billion dollars annually for the US economy.  Day labourers are big hidden resource, a large influx of people are coming to this region, who are willing to work hard.  Day labour population that some pretend does not exist is estimated at 2,000,000. A significant number are here illegal.  The mayor of one of the small cities (Glenco, Long Island) in New York stated: "..so far the community centers (where local contractors and day laborers can hook-up) have succeеded brilliantly in moving the crowd from places that could not accomodate them.." Hiring centers have increasingly become a popular solution.  On  5 Sep.2001 - Mexican president speaking publicly at the White House reception to president Bush: "...both our countries owe to these people (3 millions undocumented Mexicans working in US) - we must reach an agreement in migration... " - But many in Congress oppose workers entering the country illegally... so - while lawmakers and politicians debate the issues of control those immigrants continue their hard work contributing billions of dollars of to American and Canadian economy and - at the same time- building foundation for their future prosperity in these countries.
