Default CNN Editorial: Lets triple LEGAL Immigration to 3 Million a year!

A well known Journalist wants to triple Legal Immigration levels to 3 Million people per year. This would not include guest workers, tourists and people on short and long term Visa's. What do you think?

I suspect that will be a likely outcome of an Comprehensive Immigration Reform because big business wants lots more people in America.

That would be ok with me, but I think Mexico has already fufilled its quota with non-legal immigration for the next 200 years.

What would we DO with 3 million legal immigrants? American business can't afford legal help..if you're going to go the "legal" route, you might just as well hire Americans.

American business needs ILLEGALS, in order to stay solvent..I mean, don't they? That was MY understanding at least....Am I missing something here?...
