It is even worse than that. The so called “LEGAL” immigrants are mostly relatives of other immigrants who sponsored them. There is ZERO requirement for skill, or wealth for the immigrant and the sponsoring immigrant is not even required to support the immigrant.
My sister sponsored our mother at age 70. Our mother was too old to work and had no money. Mother collected supplemental social security checks for decades until she passed away. Note that she never worked in US and therefore contributed no FICA tax or any other tax.
There are 15 million such senior immigrants in the country. No wonder social security is going broke.

Who was it that said, "I will vote for the most conservative that can win?" I learned my lesson in '92 when I got Bubba and the Bitch.
How many were illegal and/or slaves?

America has always welcomed those who want to come to our great country for good purposes and via legal paths.To much LEGAL immigration at this point. Stop ALL immigration for 40 years.
The ONLY purpose of LEGAL immigration is to increase the labor supply and reduce wages of Americans. The only purpose.

Funny, -15 years and you’d be banned for just suggesting that. I wasn’t a huge fan of W, but he was insanely better than gore or kerry.

Reagan was a smart man and great president but the worst mistake he ever made was to select Bush for his VP!
I wish that I'd never heard the name Bush!

I recall two SEALS who received CMH’s for rescuing downed pilots in North Vietnam. Thornton and Norris, and: both were in 1972. Were you in country then or earlier?

“Elites” love CHEAP LABOR’...
They want the American working man forced to compete with a person working under the table for two bucks an hour.
Of course they don’t SAY that - they gussie it up with noble words... but in the end it boils down to CHEAP LABOR THAT LOOKS UP TO - AND GENUFLECTS BEFORE ‘ELITES’.
Screw Bush...

How so? Other than Alito I can’t think of a single redeming quality of the Bush’s 8 years.
History will mark the Bush years as one of the most significant in American history. He could have attempted to roll back the Progressivism of Clinton years and reoriented America on Constitutional path that honors our 200 years of American Heritage. Instead, he colluded with Democrats to forever change this country. THAT is what Bush will be remembered for. I hope he lives to see his home state of Texas dominated by progressive Democrats the way California is now. That’s his baby and he owns it all.

Legal residents...the ones who went through the process,have something to contribute to this country and who are grateful to be here are *great*.
Then there are the wetbacks...the parasites...the immigrants who want to transform this country into Nigeria,or Brazil,or China.
