A half billion, at least half imported, will (and already is) not America.

Immigration to add 105 million to U.S. by 2060, study says
Group: Legal influx is biggest problem

**************************EXCERPTS******************************

WASHINGTON – If flows of legal and illegal immigration continue at current rates, they will boost the population of the United States by 105 million by 2060, according to a study released yesterday.

That growth, coupled with births among current residents, would boost the nation's population to 468 million from its current level of 301 million, reported the Center for Immigration Studies, a research group that advocates lower levels of immigration.

“The central question these projections raise is – what costs and benefits come with having a much larger population and a more densely settled country,” study author Steven Camarota said during a panel discussion that included both a leader in the effort to restrict immigration and a prominent advocate of expansive immigration policies.

Net annual immigration is about 1.25 million people, comprising 800,000 legal immigrants and 450,000 illegal immigrants. Camarota's projections include growth only from future immigrants, not from the 38 million immigrants now in the United States.

In the panel discussion, Roy Beck, a former environmental journalist who now heads NumbersUSA, a group that favors immigration restrictions, called the report “thoroughly depressing.”

We’ve got plenty of people here. We don’t need additional problems.

Time to seal the borders, folks.
