“Agree, but an amnesty will just hasten the process. We are bringing in 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year. They will vote Dem two to one. Our electorate has been changed dramatically by immigration since the 1965 Immigration Act.”
Always appreciate your posts, but you realize that even if things remain at the status quo, even this dooms Euros and conservatism in America.
From my viewpoint, immigration in America is going in one of two directions:
1. It will pretty much continue to go as it is now, as there will never be consensus to make existing laws more restrictive, or
2. We will get amnesty, and tumble into the breach at ever-increasing speed.
Not an optimistic view, but that’s how I see it...
Absolutely. That is precisely the point I am making. Legal immigration is the real problem and the status quo guarantees that the Dems will be the permanent majority party if they are not already. The 2012 election indicates to me that we have already reached the tipping point.

I see it the same way. We have become so brainwashed by this "nation of immigrants" crap that even most conservatives, including many FReepers, are wont to say that they "love" legal immigration.
