"In recent years the U.S. has been admitting approximately 1 million legal immigrants every year, mostly based on family connections, which is more than the number of legal immigrants admitted to any other country. If we count only those receiving comparable permanent residence and a clear path to full citizenship, the U.S. admits more legal immigrants than all the nations of the world combined. In addition, illegal immigrants have succeeded in violating U.S. immigration law so that the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. is estimated to be around 11 million."

We all know it is more than 11 million...and you remember the days men who had little education worked in Construction and could afford to support their families? Those days are long gone because the greedy employers much rather hire someone who is here illegally for 8 dollars an hour than a LEGAL resident for 13 bucks an hour with benefits. I know this because my significant other lost his construction job in around March and they replaced him and other 5 Laborers with a pack of illegals from Brazil.

Just because the companies hire illegals, doesn't mean Americans do not want those jobs. It is BS!

Americans have always done construction, landscaping and janitorial jobs so yes you are just making stuff up.

We have the most generous immigration system in the world and yet that's still not enough to satisfy the pro-criminals. They won't be happy until we do away with our system entirely and just let every single one in.

It may be generous than the system before the 60s but it is still geared towards family immigration

here you go.
the problem is that everything we are posting are estimates not proof.
no one really knows. this for sure is true, the government will always tweak the stats to put themselves in a better light.
