Thanks for the link, but I can’t access a pdf due to security issues. What does it indicate? How do they determine the numbers?

The reason why we will never curtail legal immigration is because we have been led to believe since elementary school lies like "America was built by immigrants", "we are a nation of immigrants", and silly justifications based on the Statue of Liberty's plaque about "give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses". Until this changes we will only see the numbers of legal immigrants increase and increase. The ability of the nation to absorb this much growth does not matter one iota.

Is this your opinion, or do you have evidence you would like to share?

This is not an illegal immigration issue, furthermore I doubt a thread like this is suitable for the legal immigration forum.
Closed.
