That is complete nonsense. The number of immigrants
arriving legally in this country in the past 30 years is
unprecidented in all of US history. We have admitted
more immigrants in a fewer number of years than at
any time ever -- 40-something million in 30 years.

Fascinating, but again, do you ever wonder how Americans
got the work done before the flood of *illegals*?
