As the Senate prepares to begin a free-wheeling debate over immigration next week, White House officials have begun floating a possible compromise idea – a pledge to maintain legal immigration at current levels, about 1.1 million people a year, for more than a decade.

So we have gone from 800,000 DACA recipient to 1.6 million plus 4 million sponsored relatives plus 1.2 million immigrants a year for ten years. Why do I bother to vote?
Why do we need to allow one million more people in? At what point are we full?
Any DACA recipient should count against the 1 million.
Democrats will NEVER accept a wall or any type of real border security no matter what type of amnesty is proposed. I have faith in Trump. He won’t sell out. He just wants to get Dems on record saying NO even with generous amnesty.
the actual numbers for last few years are roughly:
400,000 legal immigrants per year
600,000 illegals who become legal per year
Mexican net immigration ( legal and illegal ) is slightly negative and has been for about 5 years.
It’s the sacbee

Headline is always propaganda
Trump needs to announce that he is going to bring in a few million at-risk African refugees to the US.
The libs will love the idea.
The commotion will be epic when he explains that he means, white south Africans....who really are in danger.
Depends on where the million come from, doesn’t it? And maybe with a merit-based immigration program the nation would benefit.
No
A complete moratorium on all immigration.
For 20 years.
If he gives away the country, he won’t get re-elected, not that it would matter.
Legal immigration is as much a problem as illegal immigration, we are still losing our country.
Everything I hear is just backsliding. NO IMMIGRATION is the point to start at, not 1Million.
Nullify the 1965 Immigration act
Ban birthright citizenship
No more immigrants, legal or illegal from shitholes
No benefits and no EITC payments to non-citizens
And.....absolutely no amnesty
If it’s merit based and the end chain migration that would end a win for us. I think that would mean a net loss for the Rats.
Link? “600,000 illegals who become legal per year”
They wouldn’t be squealing for amnesty if we gave that many amnesty already.
The numbers I trust say 1 million a year legally, 1 million a year illegally entering the country.
Illegal aliens can’t become legal, that’s why they want amnesty so bad.
We need to remove the illegal aliens, ALL of them and restore the rule of law.
We need to reduce legal immigration by 3/4.
Some places in America aren’t America anymore.
We are being colonized by the world.
We must establish legal immigration for STEMs* only. No matter where they are from. Guaranteed contributors.
*STEM-Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics. Like the Koreans, Chinese, Taiwanese. Unlike American youth, constantly playing video games or engaged in meaningless conversation on their devices, the oriental youth are doing advanced calculus.
I understand the possible need for bipartisanship because lame arse McConnell will not use the 51 vote option, but come on, stop bending and twisting your promise to seriously curtail this long-standing illegal immigration issue, Trump.
