Trump was not voicing the same type of caution given by some reform advocates and experts who have said that without meaningful action on the issue, the GOP runs the risk of alienating one of the fastest-growing voting blocs in the country. Its the kind that can be seen as fear-mongering, and for reasons people on both sides of the debate have said are simply not true.

With immigration you better be smart, you better be tough, Trump said Thursday at the 2014 CPAC meeting in Washington. They are taking your jobs, and you better be careful.

This is what the political opposites on immigration reform have to say on the impact of immigration on Americas labor force and wages:

Liberal-leaning think tank Brookings Institution

Although many are concerned that immigrants compete against Americans for jobs, the most recent economic evidence suggests that, on average, immigrant workers increase the opportunities and incomes of Americans. ... One reason for this effect is that immigrants and U.S.-born workers generally do not compete for the same jobs; instead, many immigrants complement the work of U.S. employees and increase their productivity.

Right-leaning think tank American Enterprise Institute

Overall, when you look at the effect of all immigrants on employment among U.S. natives, there is no evidence that immigrants take jobs from U.S.-born workers.

And from the same source...

Immigrants with advanced degrees boost employment for U.S. natives. This effect is most dramatic for immigrants with advanced degrees from U.S. universities working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields.

And the same source again...

Immigration Reform: Donald Trump Warns CPAC 2014 Crowd, Be Careful About Immigration

FORTUNE -- As the 2014 midterm elections draw nearer, the issue of immigration reform will be used as a wedge to pressure vulnerable Republicans into either angering their base and supporting reform, or alienating key demographics.

The politics of immigration are complicated, as are the economics. Researchers are split over whether immigration brings down the wages of low-skilled workers in the U.S. But with respect to other questions, like whether immigration promotes overall economic growth, the data is clear. It overwhelmingly does.

One way to highlight this is to compare economic growth over the past 30 years in the U.S. to other wealthy countries like France, the U.K., and Japan. A stylized fact often thrown about is that the United States, over the 80 or so years in which we've measured this sort of thing, has consistently grown faster than other countries due to its more enthusiastic adherence to classic capitalistic principals. Check out the graph below, which shows nominal yearly GDP growth from 1982 to 2012:

As you can see, the U.S. consistently beats out its wealthy peers. Over this period, nominal GDP growth in the U.S. has averaged 5.4%, compared with 1.8% in France, 2.4% in the U.K., and 1.9% in Japan.

But one fact that often gets overlooked is that the U.S. population has been and continues to grow at a faster rate than its industrialized peers. Take a look now at GDP growth over that same period, this time on a per capita basis:

Here, the competition is much closer. In fact, the U.S. doesn't even win. On a per capita basis, these countries grow at:

Without immigration, the U.S. economy looks like sclerotic Old Europe

WASHINGTON -- President Obama insisted Thursday that hes not the "deporter in chief," as critics have labeled him, but the "champion in chief" of a fairer immigration policy.

But until Congress passes a new law, Obama said, he is constrained by current statutes in how he treats immigrants who entered the country illegally.

I cannot ignore those laws any more than I can ignore any of the other laws that are on the books, Obama said. Thats why its important to get comprehensive immigration reform done this year.

Support for that view among reform advocates is splintering, a fact becoming clearer by the day. The president of the National Council of La Raza, the countrys largest Latino advocacy organization, this week coined the deporter in chief term for the Democratic president the group has worked with in the past.

Then Rep. Luis Gutierrez, Obamas fellow Illinois Democrat, used the same phrase on the House floor as he complained about Obamas policy of continuing to deport illegal residents.

When Obama sat down for a town hall meeting Thursday, hoping to boost Latino enrollment in health insurance plans, one of the Spanish-speaking hosts started off by asking about the deporter in chief comment.

Obama answered that he has been pushing for comprehensive reform.

I am the champion in chief of comprehensive immigration reform, Obama said. He pointed out that his administration has turned its focus away from deporting young immigrants brought to this country when they were children and instead put the priority on immigrants in the country illegally who are involved in criminal or gang activity.

But in so doing, he said, he has already stretched his administrative capacity.

At a certain point, he said, he has to enforce the laws on the books even while pushing to change them.
