Refugees are not the biggest source of legal immigration. We bring in 1.1 million legal immigrants a year. We have just had the two largest decades of immigration in American history. Over 30 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country since 1990. And this does not include the 300,000 children born annually to illegal aliens. These children are US citizens at birth.

You can thank Bush 41 for doubling legal immigration quotas in 1990 and Teddy Kennedy for the disastrous 1965 Immigration Act, which shifted the bulk of immigration from Europe to the Third World to make the US look more like the world. The State Department is not to blame for our current situation. They are implementing our laws. The Refugee Act of 1980 requires annual consultations by the Administration with Congress to determine refugee admission numbers for the fiscal year. Normally they are 50,000 to 60,000 a year. The WH is pushing 70,000 for FY 2015.

The entire concept of quota system and waiting in line has been subverted. Moreover, I feel the distributions of the quota allotments have been abused.
