Posted at 1:24am on May 31, 2006 Senate bill might double LEGAL immigration from 20 million to 40 million
By CitizenJoe
Here's an article you might have missed: Robert J Samuelson in the Washington Post:
"You might think that the first question anyone would ask is how much it would actually increase or decrease legal immigration. But no. After the Senate approved the bill by 62 to 36, you could not find the answer in the news columns of The Post, the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. Yet the estimates do exist and are fairly startling. By rough projections, the Senate bill would double the legal immigration that would occur during the next two decades from about 20 million (under present law) to about 40 million."
