Over 700,000 legal immigrants were family-sponsored in 2009.

Gingrey's bill is a smart attempt to end the insanity.

Pray congress finally finds the courage.

With millions out of work there is NO REASON to allow this immigration free-for-all to continue.

Some 2009 data (the latest available) from the DHS’s Office of Immigration Statistics:

Total legal influx: 1,130,818

Family-sponsored immigrants: 747, 413. About 70% of total.

Married offspring of U.S. citizens (i.e., definite adults): 25,930

Parents of U.S. Citizens (i.e., also definite adults): 120,155.

Unmarried sons/daughters of U.S. citizens (probably includes adults): 23,965.

********

How do some immigrant’s 80-year-old parents, or his 35-year-old illiterate son enhance our economic competitiveness? They don’t, but we should be grateful for their enrichment of our cultural fabric.

Here’s the full DHS report on legal immigration between 2007 and 2009:

Sounds good to me.

Now let's work on that anchor baby thing.

Gingrey's new bill would also eliminate greencards for parents of U.S. citizens, but it does create a renewable visa class for parents of U.S. citizens

Tough sledding. Lots of mainland Chinese and Indians retiring here to the Bay Area, where the freebies are never ending.

Bizarre to see them wandering the streets in their little Mao jackets, tramping the ground that they worked so many decades to try to destroy.

Take away the green cards, the SSI, the medi-cal, the medi-care? Woo Wee, they ain't gonna like that....lotsa screaming

Thanks for Rep Gingrey for stepping up....lets hope the pro-Illegal Alien GOP Leadership does not kill the bill....as they already have pushed to defund E-Verify and other Border Security matters.

We do not need any immigration at this time...with so many Americans unemployed and working only part-time. We do not need any immigration at this time.
