Illegal immigration into the United States regularly outstrips legal permanent immigration and showed a dramatic increase from 2003 to 2004, according to a new report by the Pew Hispanic Center.

The annual number of legal and illegal immigrants and legal temporary visitors peaked at about 1.5 million in 2000, dropped to 1.1 million in 2003 and has rebounded slightly since, said the authors of the report, which studied immigration trends in the past 13 years.

Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said the high percentage of illegal aliens shows that the immigration system is broken.

Talk about padding numbers . .

==================================

Illegal immigration topped legal immigration in four of the past 10 years. And much of the 2004 rebound in immigration can be attributed to the number of new illegal aliens -- 110,000 more than in 2003, the report said.

Gee...maybe if we walled off the border, stepped up Minuteman patrols, stopped rewarding illegals with tax-free income and an unlimited free health care and schooling on the taxpayer's dime, they'd stop pouring across our borders?

Nahhhh...couldn't be that simple. It must be more "nuanced." Yes...that must be why we're getting sold out by the power brokers in Washington.

If this crap keeps up, we can kiss this nation goodbye in 25 years.

"Illegal immigration into the United States regularly outstrips legal permanent immigration" That's because the illegal "processing" is quicker. "Hi ho, hi ho, eets off ta werk we go, uh dut dut dut, uh dut dut dut, hi ho, hi ho.."

It won't take nearly that long . .

Half of Mexico Wants to Move to the U.S.

Whether Mexico gets better or not - Nearly half of Mexican adults would move to the U.S. if they could – and one in five say they would do so illegally, new surveys reveal.

Lol it's only "broken" John because the current laws aren't being enforced. And you and Kyl and Kennedy and McCain aren't fooling anyone into believing new laws, which includes a massive unwanted guest worker program will change anything.
