Reagan did that. Because although all of today's right-wing psychos love him, he (mostly) wasn't a psycho himself.

What is the problem? Immigration is good for the economy.

More Immigrants == Better Economy. This is true anywhere in the world.

They should also scale the numbers by the population at that time.

1 Million new permanent residents with a population of 320 Million right now is not the same as 1 million new permanent residents when the population was about 100 million in the 1910's.

Reagan agreed to it under the condition it was to be a one time event and that the borders were to be closed to illegals. It turned out to be a major error on his part to believe that would transpire. Instead, we have had a flood of illegals ruining our schools and bloating social services.

The county where I live has been swamped by illegals. The school system was one of the best in the nation. Ten years later, almost half the schools are Title I and resources have been moved from the northern end of the county - the still prosperous portion - to the southern end to pay for all the social workers, speech therapist, language teachers, nurses, etc. for all the illegals. It will only get worse since many people are now placing their kids in private school, while the illegals crank out 6 or more kids.

nice one....

btw....what state benefits do they get? In the US you get $jack.shit

If they were to come to Canada, yes they might be taking more than producing. But this is the US, where all immigrants get a pat on the back, and are wished, "good luck". And that is pretty much it. No healthcare, no real welfare, poor schools, no housing. Nothing, zip, nada.

Really?

Look at Obama's ILLEGAL relatives here and look at the list of welfare benefits they received.

Section 8, snap/EBT cards, direct welfare payments, free Heathcare, susidized school programs and a myriad of a local and city programs are available for legal and illegal immigrants.

DAMN YOU OBAMA!!!
