That was two years ago, illegal immigration is back up again.
True, but not trending anything like its heyday, and fertility rates among immigrants of all kinds, and across Latin America (where many illegal immigrants come from) continue to fall precipitously.
It is more than mere coincidence that those who clearly don't understand America also don't seem to understand the first thing about economics (among other things).
Really?ILLEGAL immigration, you are correct. Legal immigration is so small as to be unnoticable.

Boy is THAT ever wrong. Pheeeww!!
Nearly 14 million immigrants entered the United States from 2000 to 2010, and in 2010 the immigrant population was at 40 million, a record high. And as long as ANY Americans are unemployed, this is 40 million too many. If we had full employment, and a surplus of jobs, THEN immigration might be desirable to fill those extra jobs, but we all know the situation is exactly the opposite of that.
In addition the U.S. already provides businesses with 700,000 temporary guest workers every year to compete against unemployed Americans, in addition to the annual flow of 1 million permanent legal immigrants. Now in addition to this, the Obama Administration announced a proposed rule that would give work authorization to the spouses of certain H-1B workers, increasing job competition for the 20 million Americans who want full-time work but cant find it. It does not appear that these spouses will be counted against the visa cap on the category of job they pursue.
These will be 97,000 more jobs taken away from Americans, in the first year, and 30,000 each year after.
Legal immigration "small" ?
EARTH TO SRLIP: Legal immigration is HUMONGOUS.

It's funny when certain mentally unstable individuals try to comment on terms they clearly don't understand.
It's sad when people who dare to call themselves American understand so little about what this country is and has always been. Those who fear competition are worthy only of disdain.

Legal immigration is so small as to be unnoticeable?
Does anyone have good numbers on a year-by-year basis, covering the past decade or so?
Preferably in easy-to-understand graph-form; showing total intake only, without the ground clutter?
I did a first pass via Google and didn't find anything worth posting; other than a lot of claptrap about head-counts on total No. of foreign-born folk residing here, and ancedotal (un-cited) stuff about 1.x million new (legal) arrivals per year.
If anybody has a quick link or graph to post from an authoritative and easy-to-understand source, that gives us such Total New Arrivals figures on a year-by-year basis, now would be a good time to serve it up.

That's the same thing as saying all the Americans, military and civilian, who fought World War II, feared competition from the Japs and Nazis, and those 1940s Americans are worth of disdain because of it.

There's a valid point to be made on the h1bs. But you keep puking on it with your ignorance. How many jobs are created by the 14million legal immigrants? How many of those legal immigrants are Americans now? Why stop at 10years why don't you go back 100 years and tell us how many immigrants came here and blame them and their children's children?

Yeah cause the illegal immigrants here to work are the same as the Axis in WWII. ROFL

If you had read the thread before jumping in here and spouting off ignorance of what's in the thread, you'd know that I have repeatedly mentioned gone back FARTHER than 100 years (154 years to 1860), when American passed its optimum population (relative to resource base). Already posted. Been there, done that.
As for the "puking" comment, see Post # 988.

ROFL protectionist sees himself as a god who has a bead on the optimum population number for the USA. Let's not kid ourselves, Protectionist wants to kill your children cause he feels they are taking up to much of his precious resources.
see new thread with correct title.

If you knew the first thing about North American Geography, you'd know the 30 million population figure has long been accepted by geographers et al population academics. As for your weird statement about killing children, that's for the moderators to tackle. I warned you. Again. See post # 988.
