I've been projecting much higher numbers than anyone else for a long time, but this leaves me gasping for air.
Just think, we will be doing the jobs illegals won't in 20 yrs.
"What should be considered is the point based system that Canada and Australia use. If you speak English, you get some points."
Great idea.... the multi-culturalists would hate it.
"Diversity quotas" need to go as well.
Overall, we should end chain migration. immediate family only (spouse and children) and employment-based visas, that's it. And end the birthright citizenship, which has been abused no end.
Wow, if this article is true, then we must start to think about the Bush we see now as being a possible stunt double that was slipped in during one of his trips outside the country. :)
This incredible state of affairs will sink the dollar's exchange rate as other countries realize we are going crazy, or regressing into stupidity or are soon to file bankruptcy.
The huge immigration will really help our Social Security shortfall. Way beyond budget busting! Why don't we just file bankruptcy now and save the environment.
"Cornyn and Hutchison from Texas are opposing amnesty."
"I don't trust ANY of them. I want them to come out and say very CLEARLY what their intentions are and STICK with them."
Cornyn has a bill on the table, Cornyn-Kyl. He is on the record with his votes and his legislative proposals.
It's a darn sight better than the amnesty bills the Senate is toying with.
"By increasing the annual cap of 65,000 to 115,000, automatically increasing the new cap by 20 percent each year the cap is hit, and creating a new exemption to new cap for anyone who has an “advanced degree in science, technology, engineering, or math” from any foreign university, the number of H-1B workers coming into the United States would undoubtedly escalate."
"This will destroy the sciences in this country and wipe out every high tech, high wage field we've got.
Management, doctors (soon to be replaced by foreigners), and lawyers will be the only fields protected. "
huh, the immigrants are already here and in all of those fields... they wont wipe out high tech, but increase the pool of people in it.
Most of my high-tech colleagues and PhD graduates are immigrants, and have been for years. Many high-tech successes (companies) have been started by immigrants.
As long as it is not too high, H1-B-type visas can be a good thing.
I also think it's not a bad idea to simply let any PhD who wants to work here do so. Let's make USA the brain capital of the world.
"...the Senate immigration bill – should it become law – would permit up to 217.1 million new legal immigrants into the United States over the next 20 years, a number equal to 66 percent of the total current population of the United States.
I've been projecting much higher numbers than anyone else for a long time, but this leaves me gasping for air."
Let's cut to the chase and avoid the long, slow, drawn-out process of becoming one north american nation:
Tell the National Guard to not stop at the border.
ANNEX MEXICO.
Put a fork in us.
We're done.
-
280+ million in America now
"Comprehensive Immigration Reform" adds millions`
--
- Water resources are critical in many areas
- Shortages of power/energy/oil

Solutions:
1) - Let 'em drink ocean water
2) - Let 'em eat more beans
3) - Gators are hungry now

My work here is done on those 3 dinky issues
Next question.... Helen?
All of our projections, which the open borders defenders have decried as ridiculously high, pale in comparision to what Senator Sessions has revealed about the Senate plan.
This is beyond outrageous.

MEXICO CITY – Despite his home state's often-combative relationship with Mexico, a U.S. senator from Texas is pushing hard for greater rights for millions of Mexicans living and working illegally in the United States.
Speaking in Mexico City on Friday, Republican John Cornyn said it was "past time" for his colleagues in Congress to consider legislation making some form of guest-worker program a reality.
"This is an appropriate time to restart negotiations," said Cornyn, who met with Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Ernesto Derbez during a three-day trip to Mexico's capital.
Last month, Cornyn presented a bill that would provide Mexican workers with a card allowing them to get jobs in the United States and requiring that they be paid at least the minimum wage.
U.S. Rep. Jim Kolbe, Rep. Jeff Flake and Sen. John McCain, all Republicans from Arizona, also have presented a guest-worker proposal.
Cornyn said the issue had been delayed for more than two years because of security issues on the border, but said it was time for U.S. authorities to "distinguish between those who would do the United States harm and those who come to make positive contributions."
Adm. James Loy, who is the deputy secretary for Homeland Security, testified before the Intelligence Committee earlier this year that they had reason to believe that al Qaeda had looked at coming across the Mexican border to infiltrate the United States because it would give them greater operational security, I think he said. Do you think that’s a credible threat? Do you have reason to believe that al Qaeda might want to come across our border?
CORNYN: Absolutely. Why not? It’s easy to do.
Do you have any information yourself about that?
CORNYN: I don’t have any information that’s it has actually happened.
What about people telling you that it’s likely to happen?
CORNYN: To me, it’s just obvious, because if you have an open door for someone to walk through, why would you climb over the wall. I think, essentially, our border in between our points of entry are—it’s the wild, wild west.
Te 'quero Taco Bell?
It will mean that for the American students this will not be any more a viable career.
Let's make USA the brain capital of the world.
It will not work. As the standard of living will become similar to the other countries USA will stop to be attractive for the newcomers unless very poor and desperate.
Bump.
It's already starting.
TAX REVOLT!
Bush and the Democrats are out to destroy this country.
the ol' Kleagle does know every little detail of Senate procedures, you have to give him that.
is this for all the Europeans who will want to flee before the great Islamic awakening?
I have come to believe that we are entering the "bread and circuses" phase of the "age of Caesars". In our case, the Congress, Courts, and Executive will morph into a ruling cabal, lead by a "commission of elites". They will flood our nation with immigrants in order to create an ever-increasing supply of "consumers" for the products of the transnational corporations that oversee the government. History has shown that great empires are never conquered, but they die by their own hands.
