The  US population is increasing. Would there be a time they stop accepting immigrants?

It's doubtful - the population is increasing, but people die every day.  Also, there is a recent concern about the population possibly stagnating because many families are opting out of having children.  It's a problem in Germany and many European countries, who also have strict immigration laws (stricter even than America), and they have been considering upping the immigration quotas.  \nWhy should America stop "accepting" immigrants anyways - most of Americans are products of immigration anyway.  Maybe we should focus on stopping fourteen year olds from having babies, and then we wouldn't have a population problem.

The scenario you describe could very well happen here.  Especially if illegals receive amnesty and are able to bring tens of millions more of their relatives from back home.  They will pretty soon become a majority - at least in places like California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.\n\nUnfortunately, most people refuse to look at history and learn its lessons.

Yes I heard about it. All immigrants should suport it. According to the anti-immigrant people, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!\n Don't listen to those people who said that they will go and buy more things on that day, if they said that it is because they know that it will affect the country!

No. The economy in the US is changing--other jobs are being created here.

Yes, the birthrate of US citizens (as in most developed countries) has dropped below replacement level (2 children for every man and woman), thus if it weren't for immigration the US population would actually be decreasing.

In the United States the percentage would be low. At the current moment, there is a huge controversey over immigration laws in the United States. Actually, if you want to come in, right now might be the easiest and best time to do so. I'm not sure about the U.K., however.

Better technology and medicine is a given. Gas prices will probably be higher. People will continue to complain about the economy but no one will do anything about it. We'll have a different president (the way things are going now, probably a Democrat), but we'll still have troops over in Iraq. TV shows like "The Simpsons" and "Friends" will continue to be on reruns every other hour. Americans will continue their dieting craze, but won't stop eating fast food. More doomsayers will emerge, just as people did right before Y2K. And as for resolving the immigration issue, I really have no idea...

We have gone way too far in helping other people coming in. We offer every kind of help at the expense of the working peoples tax dollars and it just keeps going on and on.  The nation was built on Immigrants who worked hard for what they had, now it's the opposite.

This is what suprises me...that the "legal" immegrant population is willing to allow their way of life here in the U.S to be dramatically reduced for the sake of their "Illegal" counter parts. What's going to happen when we let all these people become citizens? a new build up of illegals will start! Your schools, your freeways, your hospitals are all overcrowded NOW! What does the future hold when we don't say NO? The poor will continue to crowd into their dingy one bedroom apartments while the rich will continue to exploit them for pennies! Pretty soon OUR country will be like Mexico in that we will have those that are rich exploiting those that are dirt poor!....and you will have brought it on yourselves!

Immigrants contribute 7 billion in social security per year. they earn 240 billion, report 90 billion, and only are reimbursed 5 billion, "where are the 85 billion?"  They also  contribute to the U.S. economy 25 billion more than they receive in healthcare, etc., etc., etc.  According to the anti-immigrant politicians and hatemongers, "immigrants are a drain on society."  If this is true, then during the day on May 1st the stock market will surge, and the economy will boom.  If not, we prove them wrong once and for all.  We know what will happen!

Anti-immigration...that will have a great impact on the labor resource market, won't it?

The world is changing, and there are more immigrants in this country than ever before. Census reports show hispanic rsidents as growing rapidly in numbers. This is difficult for the economy because of the expense to educate immigrant children, and provide Medicaid & housing for immigrants. However most of them come here just looking for a better life. Can you blame them?
970219
Yes, I do.  This country was founded with the premise that we would take in people who wanted to come here and do right.  Nothing has changed but somehow everyone is now all up in arms over immigration because the current administration wants to take the public's attention from the war in Iraq.

It will ONLY end when there is a better alternative...i.e. the other countries get a LOT better and the US gets a LOT worse, or there is a better and more convenient country to immigrate to, either legally or illegally.

It will be devastating to the USA because of Family Unification/Chain Migration better known as bring in the Village. \nThe USA will increase its population from 300 million today to between 400 million to 1/2 billion in 20 Years. 40% poverty.\nhttp://www.heritage.org/research/immigration/wm1076.cfm\nCheck it out.

America will not HAVE a future,if the ILLEGAL INVASION is not STOPPED!!! We ALREADY have laws against ILLEGAL immigration.they are just not being enforced!!! We have laws against companys hiring illegals,but law enforcement tends to "look the other way". What NEEDS to be done,is to have those laws ENFORCED!!! Every employer of illegals,should be FINED,JAILED,and have their businesses and assets SEIZED!!!
