The Senate immigration reform bill would allow for up to 193 million new legal immigrants -- a number greater than 60 percent of the current U.S. population -- in the next 20 years, according to a study released yesterday. "The magnitude of changes that are entailed in this bill -- and are largely unknown -- rival the impact of the creation of Social Security or the creation of the Medicare program," said Robert Rector, senior policy analyst at the Heritage Foundation who conducted the study. Although the legislation would permit 193 million new immigrants in the next two decades, Mr. Rector estimated that it is more likely that about 103 million new immigrants actually would arrive in the next 20 years.

You'll find this interesting. Does W really think the millions of people on his ' guest worker program ' won't have children?
I think it is becoming clearer all the time. North American Union. If you liked the European Union, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
This makes no sense. What, the entire population of Mexico, plus 87 million other people, are all moving here?
See http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/mx.html ... there are only 107M Mexicans in the first place (whether that counts the ones here is beyond my guess).
Maybe turn us into a Mexico with a ruling elite and the rest of us poor peasants?
Big business loves cheap labor and politicians love votes.
I really don't know what they are trying to DO to this country but it is scary and I am glad my two Senators (Inhofe and Coburn) are against this bill.
I seethe.
They have taken hyperbole to record levels.
If they're going to do this, why not just drop the charade and make everyone in the world a US citizen. Just let them stay where they are though.
I have never been a one issue voter, but right now the urgency is our borders.
I live in Massachusetts, so I vote against all the incumbents anyway. But if I were in a state that made a difference, I would vote out any incumbent who hasn't fought tooth and nail to protect us from this outrageous invasion.
Shut down all immigration today for at least five years
