I love these legal immigration figures. Good stuff. America should be a melting pot where people who want to become Americans come from all sorts of different backgrounds. What I fear is simply making half the country Mexico. That is why illegal immigration is such a problem- it underminds the ability of immigrants from other countries to have a chance to become americans. Also, notice that many illegal immigrants don't have any desire to become American- rather they seek to transfer wealth to their country of origin.
