This Bill is not just about Mexico.

There are billions of people in the Third World. How many do you think would come to the USA if they could? This Bill opens wide the door.

Muslims from Islamic countries alone would probably stream in by the boat load. Do you think they would assimilate nicely - or peacefully?

What The Senate Didn't Tell You About Immigration

Robert Samuelson explains to his Washington Post readers what the Senate failed to communicate when it passed its Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA) last week. Many people wrote about the Heritage Foundation's analysis of the proposal, which estimated that 100 million people would emigrate to the US over the next twenty years under CIRA's provisions. Robert Rector adjusted that figure to 66 million after CIRA passed with several new amendments which provided some limitation to entry.

Samuelson points out that the White House and the CBO actually have similar numbers...
