Both parties are guilty. Bush 43 was one of the worst. That said, legal and illegal immigration are just two sides of the same coin. They involve essentially the same people. By greatly expanding legal immigration since 1965, we have rapidly changed the demographics of the country.
Two Sides of the Same Coin—The Connection Between Legal and Illegal Immigration
Stupendously good point and report. And our side has to STOP conceding half the argument to the commies on this and EVERY OTHER issue.
Will is bad on immigration. Several years ago we booed him at a CPAC banquet because of his statement that we must accept the fact that the illegals aren't going home. He like others present the false choice of mass deportation versus a blanket amnesty. Attrition thru enforcement works.
Any legislation that legalizes the status of those who broke our laws by entering our country illegally and allows them to stay is amnesty. We must not only prevent the Democrats and some moderate Republicans from hijacking the meaning of the word amnesty, but the public must be made aware about the true impact of an amnesty. The Heritage Foundation concluded that the cost of amnesty alone would be $2.6 trillion in entitlement costs. And the number of additional LEGAL immigrants who would join those who were the recipients of amnesty through chain migration, i.e., family reunification, would approach 70 million over a 20-year period, assuming there are only 12 million illegal aliens. We cannot assimilate such numbers. An amnesty would destroy the United States of America with the stroke of a pen.
Will is totally clueless about the impact of amnesty and immigration on our SS system. We don't need more immigrants to support the system. Immigrants grow old as well. And most contribute less than what they take out.
