'Chain migration' choking US, record 1.8 million immigrants in 2016, 14 million since 2006

Long-standing “chain migration” policies that encourage legal immigrants to bring dozens of family members into the U.S. led to an explosion of entries in 2016, 53 percent higher than in 2011, according to a new analysis of Census Bureau data.

With an estimated addition of 1.8 million legal and illegal immigrants, 2016 is tied with 1999 for seeing the most enter, about 600,000 more than at the height of the great migration through New York’s Ellis Island in the 1900s.

Obviously, something that needs to be fixed; more like cut off immediately. It's lunacy. Some of our states don't even have 1 million people.

I've said this before and I'll repeat:

It's time to close the US borders to ALL immigration -- for a period of at least 50 years.
We have enough.
We're full up.
Go somewhere else.
