From The Rocky Mountain News, "At an immigration debate Thursday at Metropolitan State College of Denver, former Colorado Gov. Richard Lamm stressed the environmental impact of illegal immigration and a Boston economist debunked myths about its costs to the U.S. Benjamin Powell, an assistant professor of economics at Suffolk University, said conservative estimates show immigrants - legal and illegal - contribute $20 billion annually to the U.S. economy, adding it was a modest contribution considering the U.S economy totals $13 trillion. Lamm countered that $20 billion added to the economy was not worth the impact of having so many people using up the nation's natural resources."
