Specter proposes increase in aliens
The Washington Times

"A draft immigration bill from Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter calls for dramatic increases in legal immigration, far beyond any of the other major proposals now before Congress."

This might be all right if, and this a BIG if, we had better control of ILLEGAL immigrants coming into this country. I am sure proponents of 'Specter "Gadget's" proposal would argue that increasing legal immigration, would decrease illegal immigration, and therefore make our country safer because we would be controlling who is coming into the US. This sounds great theoretically..... BUT.....I'm not optimistic that we have the will, political commitment, or the financial resources available, i.e. unwilling to re-allocate capital, to garner control of our borders and the illegal immigrant problem.

I would need to see massive action AND success in correcting our existing problem before opening the "flood gates" to legal immigration.
