So what would the REAL numbers let in be under the Senate Bill?

Question

The highest number I saw was around 200 million people in 20 years, if all maximum quotas were used under the Bill. The Heritage Organization was saying about 100 million in 20 years, most poor immigrants with elderly and school aged family who would strain social services. Then there was an amendment to the Senate Bill that limited it slightly, and pro-illegals and pro-slave labor program both claimed the problem was solved. How comfortable are you with 60-70 million new poor immigrants under the Senate Bill, not taking into account illegal immigration? That is roughly a third of the current population of the USA! http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/wm1109.cfm

What do you think? Do you have that much room for workers and school kids in your area?

Saul, this isn't so much the amnesty issue as the going forward increase in immigration guest worker issue. However, the fact is that lower income workers and their dependants tend to take more out of the system (which is subsidized for them by the rest of us) than they put in. That is why countries limit the number of poor immigrants. I'd still let in the illlegals other than the nasties stay (but family would have to come in through other quotas). However, I am totally against flooding the country perpetually with low wage workers to keep wages down. The problem is more people are against the legalization part and not against the other part, which in my mind will pretty much come in above those already here, as a practical matter, no matter what is decided on amnesty.

hayleylov - that is truly depressing.

Pancha, not all of the immigrants would come from Mexico, under the plan. Lots of people want to come here from other countries. I really truly am NOT focussing on nationality. And no, amnesty typically can't be revoked but there is the issue of what sort of 'legalization' is given and some sorts of legalization can be revoked, prospectively (usually in case of a felony). I don't know what will happen there.

Steve89, we love you. I was just being ironic. I agree with your position in your question. I know where we came from, thanks, and even know who our friends are.

Answer 1

to many


In the 6 seconds it takes you to read this sentence, 17 people will be added to the Earth's population. Within an hour, California's population will grow by 60 people - that's one person
a minute. California's population in 2004 was over 36.8million - and adding 539,000 annually. Recent projections predict a population of 50 million people by 2030.



The United States is the third most populous country on Earth .

Answer 2

The population of Mexico(as an example) would have to double.And all of Mexico would be in the US.I think it's a little farfetched.And I also think that as bad as our government is now,it can only get better.So hopefully there will be ppl in office that can fix all this guest worker program nonsense.Amnesty can't be reversed ,right?

Answer 3

Steve89 is a real boob. He's just pissed cause his Mexican girlfriend ditched him for some french chick and he can't get a job because his British job is now in India. Can you imagine how hard it would be if his American cousins hadn't saved his nickered as twice from being a German citizen. Laughable.

Anyway there is no justification for this amount of immigration, illegal or otherwise, in such a short period of time.
