sorry bro, everything seems "woosh" over your head.

If you don't want immigrants for 5 years then we're hardly "asorbing them into our prevailing culture"

sorry genius, but I'm saying to have the current immigrants assimilate to the prevailing culture. the "woosh" is clearly over your head.

Takes more than 5 years. It is usually second or third generations before immigrant populations begin to truly assimilate.

IIRC we have all but closed off legal immigration on multiple occasions in the past. I really think it is unneccesary and really not in our best interest long term. Without immigration we be like Europe an aging population that is not replenishing itself.

The reason we have so many illegal immigrants is that it takes an average of 15 months to get a resident VISA.The solution is simple:

1. Close the borders. We have the ability.

2. Start deporting illegals. This is what will take 5 years or longer.

3. Speed up the resident VISA process.

4. Amend the law to require a person born in the US to have at least one parent that is a legal US citizen.

Problem solved.

The Red States are replenishing themselves just fine. It's the Blues that are not. However, self-replenishment isn't the problem: it is demographics. Even though we are producing enough progeny to grow the population (though slower than a few generations ago), it has not been at a constant rate. Hence, when the baby boomers retire, there is the likelyhood of a decrease in the workforce available at least the homegrown workforce). A reduction in the number of workers available could lead to recession (production decreases) or to a period of inflation (competition for workers drives up prices) or both.

But doesn't that refer to new immigrant populations?The last true "new" immigrant populations we had were the Vietnamese in the 70's and Iranians in the 80's. Otherwise, we're talking about more of the same people who should have an easier time since their countrymen should have already established themselves. Of course, we know that is not the case.

Absorbing immigrants into our culture is not an instantaneous process. If we didn't take any more immigrants in after today it would take quite some time before even 90% of them were assimilated. Just giving them their citizenship papers does not mean they are assimilated, at least not as far as my interpretation is concerned, YMMV.

I'm good with this. I would have thought a good time for this was when our unemployment was at 12%. Not enough jobs to go around, lets bring more people in.

Not sure how anyone thinks the solution to "lack of jobs" could be "turn away new consumers".

That depends on how much we subsidize their consumption.
