Mr. Ridge volunteered this month that the U.S. needs to "come to grips with the presence of eight to 12 million illegals" now in the country and "afford them some kind of legal status some way."
This has been in the works for a very long time.. funny, in Europe immigration is being pushed by the EU.. the same arguments are being touted.. now the question.. WHO or what group is pushing so hard for this.. and what is the motive.. I'd love to have some insight..
Wonderful isn't it?
The cliche that immgrant advocacy groups try to use and push is that illegal pay taxes and they take jobs that noone else would take. This is an utter lie and HOGWASH!
Reference my link below onto how immigration LEGAL AND ILLEGAL is costing this country more than what is being put in. you do the math and tell me if this adds up. we are becoming a welfare nation in which even legal immigration needs reform. WE MUST ONLY allow those legal status IF and ONLY IF they are contributing to this nation and not taking from it.
