Agree. What we are seeing is similar to the effects of compound interest. The numbers are increasing exponentially. In 1986, about three times more people applied for "amnesty" than predicted by the USG. The three million "legalized" in 1986 were supposed to solve the problem. Now the USG estimates we have anywhere from 9 to 11 million illegals and McCain-Kennedy will solve the problem ala 1986. The true number is probably closer to the 20 million estimate by the Bear-Stearns Report

In another 20 years we will look around and see another estimate that there are 30 million illegals who need to be legalized because their numbers are so great that we can't deport them. We are like the frog who is being gradually boiled alive and doesn't realize it until it is too late.

Just some round #'s

9 million w/ unmatching SS#'s

40% of workers in Los Angeles county - working for cash

Assume: 1/2 of illegals are here w/ (pregnant) wife & minimum 2-3 other ninos.

The # gets BIG, and FAST !

Good analogy.
