The US takes in 1.1 million legal immigrants a year along with 640,000 guest workers annually. In addition we have 12 to 20 million illegal aliens living and working in this country.

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign-born in this country; today it is less than one in 8, the highest in 105 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history.

Using your criterion, is immigration working in this country?

What you’re saying is tangential to the point I was trying to make. I was saying that no immigrant plan can be a success if the immigrant doesn’t want to assimilate. We could take in one immigrant a year and if that one immigrant doesn’t want to assimilate, the plan fails.

To your point, the sheer number of immigrants described in your statistics below show our immigration plan for the mess that it is. This level of immigration is unworkable even if every single one of them wanted to assimilate as fast as humanly possible.
