U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) today unveiled an impact analysis that shows the Senate immigration bill – should it become law – would permit up to 217.1 million new legal immigrants into the United States over the next 20 years, a number equal to 66 percent of the total current population of the United States.
Even if the maximum levels are not reached, the increase to the U.S. population caused by S. 2611 will be at least 78.7 million in 20 years, just over 25 percent of the total current population. This lower estimate assumes that the bill's escalating caps on certain visas will not increase at all over the next 20 years; if the bill's caps are hit each year, the total number will be the higher estimate.
Bump - This is an invasion ...
May god have mercy on this country.
I don't understand what is going on in their heads - do those idiots and fools we sent to Washington, not listen to ANYONE?
I really want to throw up. I think I will.
And NO ONE says anything about closing the border Tight and rescinding that dreadful law that makes babies citizens automatically if their mothers can manage to make it to an American hospital.
Get your immigration papers for Europe ready. The more US citizens of European descent emmigrate back to Europe, the better. It will releive the pressure of Islam on Europe, and you can let your children grow up in a Europena culture and not Latin America, if you don't like that.
And I didn't hear one word about going after the corporations who knowingly hire these people. If the illegals couldn't find work up here there'd be no point in coming across the border. After all, the ones who come to a small town near where I live, to work in a meat packing plant, send thousands of dollars back to Mexico, have figured out how to milk the social safety net for every cent they can, all with the guidance of the "cultural center". They couldn't possibly send back the money they do if they had to pay their own way like the American worker has to.
It's sickening and disgusting to even listen to the President. He sure doesn't have the best interest of America and her citizens. I don't believe one word that man says. The only reason he came out tonight with the idea of troops on the border is because he's feeling the heat , big time. He hasn't had a change of heart, and I honestly don't believe he'll do anything other than what he wants to do. He's bullheaded, and all he can see is world trade and the hell with what the American people want. He could not care less.
Why exactly do we need all these people? So corporations can have more consumers and growth. One thing about corporate entitites is that they exist only for their shareholders--they have no allegiance to country or culture or religion--just the almighty $$. They don't care if the country becomes an overcrowded, Third World cesspool. Sure, its a big country, but most congregate around the urban areas. My commute to DC is already 1+ hours each way. Add another 10M people and that will double. But the guys at the top don't care as they are insulted from all that.
As a conservative, I hate to sound like a Communist, but unfortunately that is the only conclusion I can come to.
"I don't understand what is going on in their heads - do those idiots and fools we sent to Washington, not listen to ANYONE?"
Yes they are. To the business lobbies who can't outsource labor overseas. They pay money to politicians for these bills.
"As a conservative, I hate to sound like a Communist, but unfortunately that is the only conclusion I can come to."
The problem is that "Conservatism" by some has been defined as defense of anything a business ever says in its interest.
You're right on.
Bill the Pill Frist was just on Hannity and Colmes where he clarified his position on immigration and said he was for Double Secret Probation. Dean Wormer lives on in the US Senate.
Like all otehr educated and trained people worldwide, they are discriminated against in the Senate bill.
Think about it ~ the only Mexicans who can get in legally under current law would probably not be eligible for any of the liberalized provisions of this law. They'd be sent "back home" to get any change in their current visa.
Frist just endorsed it on Fox, he says he will spend the next 6 months getting republicans elected. It's time for him and Ken Mehlman to resign, they don't have a clue. Speaker Hastert better hold the line!
Unfortunately, the middle is being squeezed from both sides. Yes, the liberals want more voter/clients. However, many (otherwise conservative) business people want cheap labor. To the devil with the culture, taxpayer, or country--as long as their stock goes up half a point and they can buy the new BMW. These people are just as dangerous as those on the Left.
I'd much rather keep my guns. Europeans are afraid of guns in the hands of civilians ~ definitely a bankrupt culture sure to be brought down by primitive invaders from the East.
Good luck First; because I am not voting for them. I think we should find our own people minus Perot.
The Federal Reserve Bank in Pittsburgh is responsible for mailing of US bonds (to such folk as continue to buy them that way), and the overwhelming majority of those bonds are purchased for illegal aliens who work in small businesses.
It's part of a relatively simple scam used to hide income from the IRS.
It's possible NOW to track down the individuals who do the most hiring.
Is Frist still facing the insider trading investigation? Could be facing "pressure."
Also if he wants to run for president, he might want the business lobby backing.
Re Post 5: It's a nice sentiment, but not practical. There is no place else to go. If we let this Mexican invasion drive us out of our own country we will deserve what happens. I'm going to clean my rifle, again. My family lost everything after WWI. My father's land was divided up, and his homeland transferred to another country, thanks to France. I won't go back there to help them, they'll have to fend for themselves. I'm in favor of retaking our own country, drive the invaders out, and then go after the enemy within, the pinko commie rat leadership and their friends who got us where we are today.
