Also, I read that this would be the end of the Republican party. We would have a one party government which would be bad for freedom in America.
Therein lies the meat of the matter. 11 million new Democrats but not for at least 12-15 years based on the criteria for full citizenship. I reject out of hand the "chicken little" 35 million figure. Of course the Republican party could change all that if they embraced diversity, freedom for all and a political platform that embraced all individuals regardless of race or background.

Great source and very credible and unbiased.
Exactly. The Heritage Foundation isn't an independent thnk-tank. They are an agenda organization whose mission is to generate data (mostly misleading) to substantiate right-wing predetermined conclusions.

I don't need to see a report to know the negative impacts. Our schools and the amount of crime in areas with high levels of illegal aliens is more than enough "data".

When even another Right Wing think tank (ie the Cato Institute) blasts the report results as bogus you KNOW the report results are bogus.
