Are you blind or stupid? I never used the word "plenty" nor did I say we let in all. I said the United States admits between 700,000 and 900,000 legal immigrants each year. And it does. I also said coming to this country was not "impossible" (your word) and that it is time consuming. Both statements are true.
The day we allow enough foreign workers into the country that there is no demand for more of them is the day that illegal immigration will end. Not one day sooner.
Whether it is enough is not the issue. The issue is we have laws determining who can legally enter and when. Open border freaks like you can't make your argument without advocating ignoring those laws. How clever of you.
And illegal immigration can and will end when our elected officials grow a set of nads and stop pandering to the so-called "immigrants rights groups", not one day sooner.
If it was as easy as you make it seem, then why are there 12 million illegals here?
Immigration standards are not easy, and without doing research on the subject, I feel very safe in saying that it is virtually "impossible" for those millions of unskilled laborors who are here now to have immigrated legally.
Whether it is enough is not the issue. The issue is we have laws determining who can legally enter and when.
It is a huge demonstration that the law is a blunt instrument that it has created such a huge problem, and has been so resistant to intelligent change for so long.
