"This is about big business and is ability to be competitve in a future economy. So do we hand our country over to a new generation of immigrants from Mexico or do we deflate the economy to a point sustainable with our current citizenship?" So sorry to inform you of this, but the handover has already been done.
In 2003, Mexicans are the largest minority voting block.
Informed sources predict that by 2030, if you are a gringo, you will be the minority in this country, not Pedro Gonzales.

I suspect many more immigrants will be coming. Technically the "handover" is illegal and thus the need for an "amnesty".
The idea that millions of unskilled/uneducated laborers are going to be able to replace Joe Americana successfully is a pipe dream. We are simply relocating the slums of Mexico to various locales here in the US.
Perhaps we should be encouraging educated eastern europeans or asians to "immigrate" instead. Our trade policies however do not favor immigration from better educated populations because we are enriching their homelands enough to warrent staying put.
No offense to the good (former) citizens of Mexico, who immigrated legally, but the literacy rate is much better in other parts of the world. America needs educated "huddled masses" not Pedro's looking for a handout.
