Thanks to our immigration policies, America will not have a population program. We will add another 130 million over the next 40 years. We will be approaching half a billion people by 2060.

I think this recession/depression will finally fix the border and immigration problem, IMHO. The Great Depression was caused by a financial crisis whose underlying cause was bad debt just like this one. Obama's policies screwed up our recovery just like FDR's did, except we've shipped a lot of our manufacturing capabilities overseas.

Now we have a great excess of relatively unskilled labor, at least for the jobs left in this country. I'm afraid that recovering from this recession/depression is going to be like the 1930s. It's a great time to make legal immigration only on a skills based criteria with family unification limited and dependent on critically needed skill.

I wish that were so. There are too many groups that stand to benefit from the status quo. The Chamber of Commerce wants more cheap, exploitable labor to drive down US wages; the Dems want more voters; the Catholic Church wants more parishoners; La Raza wants more members; the labor unions want to increase their membership; and on and on it goes.

We are bringing in 125,000 legal foreign workers a month now.
