Uh, you're wrong, this will just give the 'immigration uber alles' folks more ammo.

Under Bush adminstration, it is unlikely that there will be any significant reforms but in the next decade or so, there will be an outcry from the American public to reform immigration due to our decline of the dollar with increased foreign competition (e.g. offsourcing of IT jobs to India, etc.)

In other words, we will no longer be able to absorb as many immigrants in our economy as we were doing for the past 20 years.

Most of the 'immigrants' in my town aren't being absorbed into any economy except the welfare one. This will continue apace. The first wave of immimgration to this country in the late 1800's/early 1900's was driven by the industrialists desire for cheap labor. Toward the end of the nineteen teens however, it became apparent that immigration was in effect 'importing the revolution'. Not wishing this to be a Socialist/Communist country, the industrialists of the day put the kibosh on immigration. NOW however, these same industrialists are no longer 'American Enterprises' but international companies. They no longer care where their employees are located so long as they can pay them pennies an hour. The desire for immigration now is driven by a 'need' to import a new electorate. You see, the previous electorate (1965ish) wasn't 'going commie/socialist' fast enough and they still had that pesky 'country loyalty' thing going on. You know, patriotism. Import enough immigrants from socialist countries (man oh man are we!) and 'help' them fail to assimilate (you know, multiculturalism and 'diversity' and all that) and we are well on our way to being replaced as an electorate. Hope you like living in a 3rd world pest hole...cuz we're headed there fast.
