Will 'Extended Family Unification' amment in the current Immigration Bill actually mean that the 12-20 million illegal immigrants will actually bring 80-100 million new immigrants because fathers, mothers, cousins, uncles, aunts, and grand parents will be allowed?
Wouldn't adding so many people change the demographics of our country?
Many of our social programs are already going bankrupt (i.e. Social Security). How are we supposed to absorb these new people into the system so quickly?
According to the Heritage Foundation less than 50% of them have a high school education, they currently pay about $1,500/year in taxes (mostly though sales taxes), but even with them paying Social Security, Income and State taxes their total tax liability will be about $5,000 that will not cover that average $15,000/year each immigrant uses in social services - the average illegal alien makes $32,000/year tax free.
For those who don't know the United States has a population of legal citizens of 302,117,638 as of the writing of this post.
