The easy answer is that we need immigrants to achieve population growth, without immigrants our population does not grow. So in their numbers, it's just fun math.
Now in addition to having math fun, we are having word fun.. How good of you not to differentiate between legal immigrants and illegal immigrants. If you want me to agree that we need immigrants, I will agree. If you want me to agree that we need illegal aliens, you are wrong.

Most of us want their illegal alien kind OUT of the US. Period.

Immigration laws exist to protect all Americans, including legal immigrants.

If you cannot understand that, then there is nothing to discuss.

We DON'T need illegal aliens. Legal aliens in small numbers are Ok. Too I'm old enough to remember us Americans needed to cut down the baby making and, many of us stepped up and had few or no kids. Now we're being punished for doing things we were asked to do? Really? Seriously?

I have read many opinions, unill I asked myself where do these illegals live. You see, I am in NJ but this is a suburb of NYC.
Demographics of Immigrants in the United States Illegally - Illegal Immigration Solutions - ProCon.org

Now as long as were talking about MY neighbors (I don't know what the situation in Florida or Texas is like) But for my neighbors, I do wish the American dream.

So. NO you will not deport my Neighbors !


I am not going to give Liberals a free pass to pass laws that make no sense, but we can move in the direction of giving illegals means to get legalized.
Um, no! Would you want American lawbreakers to stay out of jail and rewarded instead just because they are "your" neighbors? We are a nation for the rule of law.

We do NOT need "population growth". The country is running out of potable water (don't believe it? Look at CA) and buildable land. Our infrastructure is crumbling and there isn't the money to repair it all, let alone add to it. We are in debt to the tune of trillions of dollars.

Yet, you want to grow the population Tell us---how many will be too many for you? 1 billion? 2 billion?

How are you being punished?

Do you think that if the population demographics changed due to legal immigration, that it somehow punishes you?

Stabilized? Where are you getting that? More and more are coming from south of Mexico now. Besides, there are still at least 11-12 million of them still here so what's your point? So yes, it is still is a large issue until they leave or are removed.

Apparently, you don't live in an area that's been destroyed by illegal aliens. Those of us who have seen this happen to our neighborhoods have, indeed, been "punished". Do you really need to know all the ways illegals destroy neighborhoods and schools? Or can you figure that out on your own? If not, do some googling.

We already allow in 1 million legal immigrants a year so what are you talking about? That doesn't even count the numerous family reunifications on our soil. Do you not know why we have quotas for legal immigration? I suggest you find out.
