Well, obviously you haven't been to the growing barrios in Ventura, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties of California.

I've never gotten an answer to these questions?: How many can the US absorb before losing/lowering its generally high standard of living? 100,000 a year? 1,000,000 a year? 10,000,000 a year? 100,000,000 a year? Do we even have the moral right to want to maintain that standard of living with so many poor in the World. And if we do, where's the cutoff before the ship sinks? Think Europe.

The already generous legal immigration ceiling is more than enough new residents per year.

Of course we have the right to maintain our higher standard of living, even an obligation to do so. If the US economy (standard of living) is halved, the world economy tanks for a long while -- everybody loses.

Because we have everything free here. Sure these people can take jobs for $6 an hour and have lots of babies --- it's free hospitalizations, free maternity care, free food with WIC and food stamps, free public schools.

The taxpayers pay their real living costs, the $6/hour is for sending back to Mexico and a few shopping trips to Walmart. Watch the tax rates climb to sky high.
