Over 27 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country during the period 1990-2010. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history. Demography is destiny.
First of all I didn’t bring up the subject of immigration you did. That said; I disagree that legal immigration is more important than illegal aliens, border security and amnesty which is the subject of the thread.
