Let’s keep adding:
“Our best estimate is that there are 75,000 to 125,000 illegal Haitian immigrants in
the country. In 2000, the INS estimated there were 76,000 illegal Haitian .”
We’ve got a lot more since their big floods...so let’s say 125,000. JUST HAITIANS
59 percent of illegal immigrants are from Mexico. Other countries in the top 10: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, China, the Philippines, India, Korea, Ecuador and Vietnam.
And how many Mexicans total? There’s only 115 million in Mexico! You’re telling me that more than 4/5ths of Mexicans would pack up and leave to come to America? Not happening.
Did you know that the TFR in Mexico is just 2.27? That means that over a period of 20 years, there would be just 9.3 million Mexicans more than what is needed to keep the population stable. So I’d estimate total Mexican immigration demand to be around a half a million a year, assuming almost all go to the United States.
Levin was all over this like white on rice yesterday. He had a great fact that 2/3 of the Mexicans in US that are ALREADY eligible for citizenship are not applying for it.
Nearly two-thirds of the 5.4 million legal immigrants from Mexico who are eligible to become citizens of the United States have not yet taken that step. Their rate of naturalization—36%—is only half that of legal immigrants from all other countries combined, according to an analysis of Census Bureau data.

So Amnesty is provability the great train robbery of the 21st century. The people that it is for don’t even want it! This is about domestic U.S. politics. The elites want to control the middle class and this is one of the ways to do it. Nothing short of treason on the part of the GOP to go along with this.
