I have heard (and cannot verify) that the current limit for "Legal" Mexican un-skilled green-card AND visa entrants to the USA is 10,000/year.

If that is so, then the number is ridiculously low.

However, I still back Sensenbrenner's bill top-to-bottom. But the number has to be changed--maybe to 500K-1MM/year.

On a related note, I received the wonderful news yesterday that my I-130 "Petition for Immigration of Foreign Spouse" has been approved by the USCIS. One more hurdle has been passed in my efforts to bring my wife to the United States from Ukraine.

Meanwhile, millions cross our souther border every year. Frustrating.


Well, because you are doing it the right and legal way, the way it should and although you have gotten a lot of guff in the process, at least it is moving, albeit slowly. Illegals on the other hand, come in and get things right away, something is wrong there, stating the obvious of course.

As to 61 million coming here, dang, we will be like Red China by the time 2100 rolls around. B-P

He may very well be. I just think the number of illegals he starts off with is probably closer to 20 million than 10.

I saw Robert Rector on Lou Dobbs show and he said 10 million illegal aliens was what they used to make their extrapolations (calculations) but that 20 million illegals (Bear Stearns estimate) was very very possible. He admitted 10 million was low ball number

Don't bother replying to MNJohnnie. He comes to these threads, pukes his stupidity for all to see and never responds or engages in debate.

"Dane and Sinkspur and TexasForever, for starters. "

You know, I'm surprised that bunch hasn't started their own ping list. Not sure what one would call it, though.

Again, squealing louder does not change the factual reality. YOUR team has lost every political contest they have entered to date. Seems the facts do not back up your repeated screetches of overwhelming political support for your narrow agenda. So what happened to the 100,000,000 Illegals number you all were screaming LAST time?

Remember this thread?

Post 71. Perhaps you would care to take a shot at explaining this to us?

"LOL!!! Does anybody realize that is about 60% of Mexico's entire population? I'm as anti-illegail0immigrant as the next guy but to believe that essentially 2/3 of Mexico is going to pack up and sneak accross the border is just, well, silly."

With all due respect, get educated friend.

This does NOT just include Mexicans.

In fact, the current Senate bill allows increases in the cap for H1-B visas to 125,000/year from 65,000/ year immediately plus a 20% increase per year for every year this quota is filled.

H1-B visas are for TECHNICAL expertise such as engineers and scientists.

The 65,000 per year has already hurt the American engineer a LOT. For the first time in my career salaries for EE's are going down.

This is NOT just about unskilled or semi-skilled workers.

It will hurt the whole damn middle class!

Who in the hell are these people who were whining about not enough jobs in the 2004 election who are now supporting this Senate proposal?

I don't know what you do for a living, but somewhere, in some other country, there is someone waiting to come here and do your job for half of what you do it for!

I hope the House carries through with its promise to hold public hearings on the Senate bill.

Americans will be disgusted at the contents of it!

It is obvious that the Senate doesn't give a damn about the average Joe's well being... it's all about big business.

Right, it makes no sense that the same members who defend the N.Y. Times abuse of freedom of the press are the same ones trying to ban flag burning.

A conservative estimate of legal immigrants alone who will enter the country within the next 20 years is 100 million because the Republicans inserted a provision into the immigration "reform" bill to quintuple immigration levels. The Republican Party has become the scourge of the nation. The Republicans are so afraid that Big Business will stop contributing to their campaigns that are supporting legislation to give the immigrant-bribing Democrats, who are hellbent on eradicating American identity and subjugating white men, a permanent majority.

Oh now you've done it by posting all those threads. They'll probably add up the total mentioned in each one and start yelping about 700 million.

Americans are to apathetic and naive. Gas is over $3.00/gal. The frogs are simmering slowly. They'll wake up about immigration when it is to late. Vote constitution party, it is your last chance.

"Again, squealing louder does not change the factual reality":

Talk about the pot....
Still don't see nuthin' in any of your links about 200 million illegal Mexican immigrants invading this country.
Here is what you said in your post # 7:

"Ok. We start with 9, then went to 11, then went to 16, then 20, then 48, then 89 then 96 then 100 then 200 and now back to 61"
Where's the 200 million at?

"YOUR team has lost every political contest they have entered to date.

Like the famous Bilbray win in the Cali 50th district and the great enforcement only immigration bill from The House?
We want more "loses" like that. :)
Keep the LaRaza talking points coming, boy.

Illegals are buying up all of our gas, driving the price up?
