After the November elections we'll get to see how the Dems handle the problem.

Where are they all going to work? There can't be that many jobs created in 10 years... I guess that is when they expect the straight Anglo Christians to move to Mars?

There would have to be a 15% growth rate to create that many jobs, which proves that this Heritage study is all wet.

This is their response to American citizens demanding we close our border. They seem to be saying: "OK folks, since you demand we act to close our borders, we'll just let them come here legally instead. Nothing you can do about that". We've lost our country to the globalists.

The dems won't win either the house or senate. In fact the republicans will probably gain a few in the house. Also some of the rino's are facing primary elections prior to November so we may be replacing rino's with conservatives in a few races. So it's not all doom and gloom.

Here's what this fat lying slob said about this issue the first time he had a chance to fix the problem.

"The bill will not flood our cities with immigrants. It will not upset the ethnic mix of our society. It will not relax the standards of admission. It will not cause American workers to lose their jobs." (U.S. Senate, Subcommittee on Immigration and Naturalization of the Committee on the Judiciary, Washington, D.C., Feb. 10, 1965. pp. 1-3.).

He's counting on America's short attention span. and that this American Idol society will never hold him accountable.

Amazingly, the Senate has passed another amendment to limit temporary workers to a mere 200,000 per-year, even though numerous studies say we need at least twice that amount. The Upper Chamber is also limiting the volume of skilled H1B workers, primarily engineers and scientists. These workers are crucial to American competitiveness, and if allowed into the country at much higher levels they would throw off more than enough tax revenue to finance public services for unskilled H2B immigrants.

The anti-immigration crowd also gets it wrong when it points out that the Senate compromise bill would increase the number of immigrant workers in the U.S. by roughly 61 million over the next two decades. This Heritage Foundation analysis has the fear-mongerers predicting a Mexican takeover of the United States. But we need these workers.

Due to the demographic shift being caused by the baby boomers, the ratio of working-age persons in the U.S. to retirees aged 65 and over will drop like a stone from the current 4.7:1 ratio to 3.5:1 by 2030, and 2.6:1 by 2040. With the Social Security and Medicare trust funds going bankrupt, how will we manage with so few workers per retiree? Will we let our whole economy stagnate like France, Germany, Italy, or even Japan? All of these countries suffer from shrinking workforces and top-heavy government taxation.

Well, the U.S. could maintain a 4:1 ratio of workers to retirees by admitting an additional 57.5 million workers over the next nineteen years, according to analyst William Kucewicz. This would result in an average annual population increase of less than 1 percent and a total of only 16.4 percent more than the 350 million projected by the Census Bureau for 2025.

Let’s also not forget that immigrants come here to work, raise families, and assimilate. They would in effect become a much-needed churchgoing blue-collar middle class — an all but forgotten demographic that is crucial to a healthy America.

With global warming raising the oceans and swallowing our land mass, where oh where will we put a hundred million illegal aliens?

[texastoo]

How many illegals does it take to pick a head of lettuce?

"Where are they all going to work? There can't be that many jobs created in 10 years..."

I'll tell you where; they're going to be taking jobs which Americans are now performing, but for a much lower wage. That means that American citizens will be forced to accept a lower wage, a lower standard of living, and many will have to be very creative in order to just survive. Every one has heard of 'outsourcing' of jobs, now we're becoming the victims of 'insourcing' of jobs. Welcome to the United States, formerly a prosperous nation, but soon to be just another Third World country.

"In fact the republicans will probably gain a few in the house. Also some of the rino's are facing primary elections prior to November so we may be replacing rino's with conservatives in a few races. So it's not all doom and gloom."

In either case, his point was that the Republicans aren't doing anything for us, they're no better than the Rat party.

I gues you didn't get the word, the age for collecting SS is going up, and of course in a few more years there will be no money to pay out so Americans will not be able to retire...add in SS benefits for illegals and maybe Americans can retire around age 80 if they are still living...

More than that -- where does the water, food, energy come from? We are running low on water with a population of 300 million and farmers are getting their taps turned off all over the West because of the people boom, the midwest aquifers are running too low and they are counting on that area for corn for ethenol.

What we'll be is a clone of Mexico with two classes: the elite ruling class and the serfs.

[Cementjungle]

Where are they all going to work?

Who says they will work? There's more money to be made by being on Welfare than working some sub-minimum-wage job.
