The President, along with Congress and the Senate will need to wake up to the fact that this is a HUGE and important issue for their voting public. Their wishy-washy responses of the past will not stand up to our scrutiny in November. Any of them with any political savvy will realize that their old positions are no longer valid.
The typical American family has been reduced from the average 4 children in the 60's to the average 2 children now. In recent years American mothers are having children at an older age. There are many more American couples choseing to have no children now then ever. There are more single American adults then ever, and there seem to be more same sex couples then ever before.
As long as these trends continue my friends, expect more undocumented people to keep heading this way.

I don't know who an undocumented is but as for illegal aliens are you saying they come here because we need their babies? LOL!
Well, if we can not produce our own babies to keep up with our economy, I guess somebody will have to, either here or elswhere.
We don't need anymore people in this country. We need to stabilize our population growth. You are wrong. Americans are procreating at replacement levels. Our birthrates are still nearly double our deathrates. There are more important things than a large economy. A smaller economy to fit a smaller population will make for a lot healthier country in the long run.
I ask again, are you claiming that is the reason that illegals are coming here is to save us from extinction by producing numerious babies on our dime? Surely you jest.
If you really think we are facing extinction don't you think we would increase our quotas on LEGAL immigration? Is it alright if we choose immigrants who are educated and skilled? Or will just any poor peasant's here illegally babies do?

Well, do you know that most of those babies "our bithrates are nearly double" are born from immigrants, and yes many of them illegal??

I don't have a problem with babies born from parents who are here legally. They are a part of the quotas I was talking about. We don't need illegals here and we sure don't need their numerous babies to keep us from growing extinct. We have over 300 million people in this country already.
