Build the fence first!
Best news I have heard all week.
I guess when you are out of work Americans will start doing those jobs that “Americans won’t do”.
Pure, unadultered BS.
Yes we still have too many Mexicans. Build the fence.
We've got plenty of laws on the books to solve this sh*t, just that Congress and the President(s) wink and nod at enforcing it.
If it takes eliminating each and every person now serving in office (except those who truly ran on enforcing our laws as they NOW exist), then so be it!
I don't care which party it is, our national sovereignty must be protected and enforced.....by the end of a gun if necessary, and I'm just the woman who will volunteer!
The issue isn’t the drop in new illegals per se. (That’s due to changeable economic conditions.) The issue is BORDER SECURITY, and we ain’t got it by a long shot.
Linda Chavez is a soaking wet Wall-Street-Journal, COC type on this issue, i.e., any excuse will do to promote amnesty.
What about the Hezbollah terrorists, who want to harm us, that come through the Mexican border? I think we really need to be concerned about those.
Dear Democrats/liberals - MEXICO IS CALLING YOU!!! Warm weather! Lots of drugs! Great coastal views!!! And for you guys in San Francisco, lots of young boys!!! Renounce your American citizenship and move to Mexico today!!!
It’s the left that wants amnesty, because it would mean future democrats
“it’s time to get on with legal immigration reform.”
She’s right. It’s way past time——to enforce our laws, step up deportations and guard our southwestern border from invasion.
Illegal immigration from Mexico has virtually stopped.
p.s. have bridge for sale cheap.
I find it very hard to believe numbers on illegal entry into the USA and the numbers of illegals repatriating to Mexico. As I understand it illegals are still putting a huge strain on services here in the USA. If the article were true that strain would be lessoning.
This is absurd. We need far fewer legal immigrants and none with "lower skills."
The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest level in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.
Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in net immigration of 1.25 million. Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the worlds third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any developed country in the world, i.e., 0.977% (2010 estimate), principally due to immigration.
The border is important, but 40% of the 12 to 20 million illegals here came here legally and overstayed their visa. Fixing the border only solves part of the problem.
This is the new template. They leave out illegal immigration from other Latin American and world sources. The problem is far from solved..border security and employment security are still huge unresolved issues, but there is a big PR push by the left to convince people that the problem is solved, but most of us can observe every day that it isn’t.
We still have millions of illegals taking the jobs of citizens who have seen their income and opportunities drop.

I guess when you are out of work Americans will start doing those jobs that Americans wont do.
Nicely played, sir!
I don’t disagree with you. Secure the border first, then crack down on employers so that it’s harder and harder to find work as an illegal (and, of course, deport criminal aliens first). Only after years of such activity MIGHT we talk about some sort of amnesty for the most “useful,” least blameworthy of illegals. But Linda Chavez wants amnesty yesterday, today or tomorrow, never mind the absence of any of these things to prevent another 20M from flooding in once the economy here improves.
