While the debate over amnesty rages, the U.S. already expects to admit 10 million new legal immigrants on a path to citizenship over the next decade — more than the population of seven large American cities combined.
At the current rate, the influx of legal immigrants over the next ten years will exceed the total populations of Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Boston, Atlanta and St. Louis combined, according to federal data compiled by Alabama Republican Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office.
The U.S. offers green cards to about 1 million new legal permanent residents each year. Over the past five years, the Department of Homeland Security has issued 5.25 million green cards total.
Recent immigration reform proposals would have drastically upped the number of legal immigrants entering the country each year. The 2013 Gang of Eight immigration bill would have tripled the number of green cards issued over the next decade to a total of 30 million new legal residents.
To put that in context, that’s more than the entire populations of five Central American countries combined Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
Sessions’ office says that polls have consistently found that only a very small number of Americans hope to increase legal immigration. Gallup found in June that a plurality of 41 percent of Americans said they’d support decreasing legal immigration, while just 22 percent think legal immigration should be upped.
American voters are even more decisively opposed to giving amnesty to people in the country illegally. A poll from Paragon Insights found in January that 58 percent of voters opposed President Obama’s current proposal to end deportation for four million undocumented immigrants.

While Americans have often focused on the rapid influx of illegal immigrants, some are turning their attention toward legal immigration and its affect on jobs and wages for American workers.
Probable Republican presidential candidate Scott Walker, who has denied reports that he favors eventual citizenship for illegal immigrants already in the country, has suggested that he would take a look at existing legal immigration policies if he ends up in the White House.

“Any legal immigration system we go forward with is one that ultimately has to protect American workers and make sure American wages are going up,” Walker told Fox News’ Sean Hannity last week.
In THIS alternate universe,
the EXEMPT like it when their schemes come together.
Especially their conspired sell-out of the American
people’s Constitution and Freedom
to criminals and terrorists from other countries.
America has been betrayed — by the very people whose job it was to protect her.
When can we quit playing this legal/illegal game, and just end mass immigration?
In effect, end immigration, we had plenty of people in 1970 America, immigration is killing us.
The DC uniParty and their Chamber of Commerce leash holders are engaged in massive human trafficking for the purpose of ethnicly cleansing the intractable US population. The replacement population is much more amenable to the feudal system imposed on them for centuries by their Inca, Mayan, Aztec, and Spanish overlords.
“However, if there is one man who can take the most credit for the 1965 act, it is John F. Kennedy. Kennedy seems to have inherited the resentment his father Joseph felt as an outsider in Boston’s WASP aristocracy. He voted against the McCarran-Walter Act of 1952, and supported various refugee acts throughout the 1950s.
In 1958 he wrote a book, A Nation of Immigrants, which attacked the quota system as illogical and without purpose, and the book served as Kennedy’s blueprint for immigration reform after he became president in 1960.
In the summer of 1963, Kennedy sent Congress a proposal calling for the elimination of the national origins quota system. He wanted immigrants admitted on the basis of family reunification and needed skills, without regard to national origin.
After his assassination in November, his brother Robert took up the cause of immigration reform, calling it JFK’s legacy. In the forward to a revised edition of A Nation of Immigrants, issued in 1964 to gain support for the new law, he wrote, “I know of no cause which President Kennedy championed more warmly than the improvement of our immigration policies.” Sold as a memorial to JFK, there was very little opposition to what became known as the Immigration Act of 1965.”
You can’t make any money on a white middle class guy with a 790 credit score, who wants a car, or credit card. You can charge whatever you want to an illiterate, unskilled laborer.
That ought to be just enough to put Hillary over the top in 2016.
End the ability of the Federal Reserve to monetize US Government debt with a fiat currency - and this ends immediately. In fact, all progressive plans for government end immediately as soon as government must deal in real currency.
Frankly, I’m scared. It has to be too late already and this Obama summer (and the next summer ‘16) brings a pile on of illegals in here to double guarantee that it is too late.
No Obama impeachment and no counter to the Obama collapse to our fundamental foundations, and nearly two more years to go will end America as we knew it. How really, does a Republican expect to win against a stacked deck full of foreign voters and home grown Marxist numbers that are increasing with every high school and college graduation?
Two-thirds of these legal immigrants vote democrat.
America's replacements have and are being intentionally pumped into America and have been for decades now.
They don't even try to hide it nowadays.
Id there any way to stop the State Department from importing the huge number of Muslims from the Mideast???
