I don't want the US to give amnesty to this sort of person, who is merely the result of the willful disregard of legal standards in the source country. Time for us all to stiffen our resolve to admit that the era when the US could successfully exploit (under the rubric of freedom) the "tired, huddled masses" of the world is over.

I do not disagree...

Except that look at what is happening with Mexico.

Not only it is the source of illegal immigration, (of which we only have estimates as to how many, how often etc they cross the border, but then you have this on-going problem:

The Facts:

1. A child born in the US automatically becomes US citizen.
2. The border between Mexico and the USA is approx 2,000 miles, many of them completely unguarded/fenced (nor impossible to do so).
3. Many women in the illegal aliens/migrant workers population are having their babies in the USA for the sole purposes of obtaining a passport. (in fact, MANY women who actually lead a normal life in the border towns in Mexico DO cross the border simply to have their child).

These "stealth" US population will "reappear" later in their life to claim their rights as US citizens, it is unpredictable what impact these people will have on the US.

As an example: Once you are a US citizen, you have the right to sponsor the immigration of some of your closest relatives. (without pre-qualification).

So.... take it from there and use whatever "projection" you want. My opinion is that the US Census Bureau has the wrong estimate as to the true size of the Hispanic population is in the Western states. -GGG-

He he he he he he... does "putting the "J" back in Texas sounds familiar ? -GGGG-

don't shoot now, I am a mere observer, pointing out, ... er... the obvious, (perhaps not so obvious). -g-
