Amnesty will happen. Enforcement and border protection never will all because establishment Dems want new voters and Repubs want cheap labor.

I am in favor of legal immigration and would welcome those who do it properly. I have no patience for law-breakers who make the millions of past immigrants who have done it properly feel stupid for following the rules.

Those in this and previous administrations who don’t enforce existing laws have no right asking for new laws.
Selective enforcement of the law leads to corruption and loss of confidence in all authority and eventually a breakdown of civilization.

These politicians are doing irreparable damage to our republic just to gain some short term advantages.

Do you favor 1.2 million LEGAL immigrants a year while 23 million Americans are looking for full time employment? The decade ending in 2010 was the highest in our history in terms of numbers--13.9 million. During that same period, we suffered a net loss of jobs--a minus 400,000.

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 90 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 it has been 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 a net immigration of 1.25 million. Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 315 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million to 445 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration.
