Experts: Legal path to work in U.S. needed

From My San Antonio:
The U.S. economy needs unskilled immigrant labor, but there is not a system in place
to allow that work force to enter the country legally. That was the consensus among
experts from the U.S. and Mexico at a Thursday panel discussion, part of the University
of Texas at San Antonio Mexico Center's Bilateral Perspectives on Mexican Migration
Conference. In a panel discussion addressing the legal framework of immigration to
the U.S., Frank Bean, the director of the University of California at Irvine's Center
for Research on Immigration, Population and Public Policy, addressed the common claim
that illegal immigrants do the work U.S. citizens don't want to do.
