Here are a couple sites with info for 30 years or so. If you dig deeper there you might find the 200 year numbers. One has the statement; "From 1860 to 1920, the proportion of foreign-born ranged between 13 percent and 15 percent,..."

Wow, "...Adam Smith." "...tenent of microeconomics..." Gee, you don't say.

Well, if Adam Smith says to pack us into the country like sardines than that's just what we should do.

We may run out of fresh water, food, energy resources, prison space, landfill space for our trash and have accumulted a $100 TRILLION dollar National Debt trying to pay for it all, but if we haven't reached the point where marginal cost and marginal benefit meet, we should just keep on barreling towards oblivion.

Pure economics without a lick of common sense, sounds like a recipe for pure hell on earth.

Just ask for the member you wish to leave a msg for, all those I reached so far have been lengthy messages and if you cannot leave one, find out the member's local number, I had to for Durbin.

Fingers, get busy please?

I see you have only been here a few weeks Eva, why not tell us what you feel about this issue?

[JustPiper]

I keep noticing your posts are vague about the thread issue?

[JustPiper]

If you read every post eva, every thread there are plenty of words and arguments, debates that back up the problem.

[JustPiper]

This is definite doublespeak.

Ah yes, let's just stop consuming.

A crust of bread, a couple of cups of water, a basic tunic and sandals, a 3X6 box to sleep in that can just be carted off to the incinerator, with your body in it, when you finally drop dead. No, wait! Save the box, tunic and sandals. That's more efficient and economical.

Ah, the economist's ideal of a perfect human existence.

Thought you might be interested in this:

Oct 2 has been designated "National Call-In Day to Support Immigrants' Rights" by the Freedom Riders.

They ask supporters to "Urge President Bush and members of Congress to support immigrants' rights. Make your toll-free calls any time on October 2 to the White House at 800 321-8268 and to Congress at 888 355-3588."

We should also let our voices be heard on that day. And for those who like to send faxes:

You're missing the point. Illegal immigration is the problem....not pollution, recycling, highways, landfills or anything else. We have immigration laws here, and they need to be enforced, simple as that.

Stopping illegal immigration should be priority number one. Those immigrants who follow the laws and sign the guestbook upon arrival are more than welcome here.

Just Piper thanks for going out to stand up for what you believe in when the going got rough!
It is only the beginning of this struggle...
I would like to know where the Illinois senate candidates stand?!?!

we've long exhausted many of our human and natural resources,...

Oh really? How about providing a few examples - from both categories.
