From the Paper:

"The analysts, advocates of open borders, politicians as well as political groups who are against any forms of immigration control as well as enforcement initiatives argue that the illegal immigrants who settle in Los Angeles do have a net positive effect. But the opposite is considered to be true. (Illegal Immigration's Financial Impact) Quite a few studies have revealed the controversial outcomes of illegal immigration. According to a study conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform [FAIR], which is a group, supporting a reduction of legal migration based in Washington, D.C., states that the cost of immigration to our society is significantly very high."
