Enough! White House says US choking on 10.7 million legal immigrants
by Paul Bedard  | May 17, 2018 04:35 PM

In a stiff pushback against claims the administration’s immigration policies are inhumane, the White House today said that the nation is choking on the 10.7 million legal immigrants and refugees allowed in over the past 10 years that are in addition to the 11.3 million illegals here.

“Our expansive humanitarian-based, family-based, and lottery-based immigration system fails to consider the needs of American workers and taxpayers, who have been burdened by decades of low-skilled immigration that has suppressed wages, fueled unemployment, and strained federal resources,” said the White House.

It cited reports that many come here and end up on taxpayer funded welfare.

That 11.7 number is from about 20 years ago.  It's just not honest.

Worth saying again:

The time has come to cut ALL immigration to the United States (with a very few exceptions).
We're "full up". We don' need no mo'.

Not for 50 years, or even 75 years.
It's time to close the doors and lock 'em up.

   At least until we get our house in order.
