According to confirmed reports, the actual figures for people coming to 
this country from ALL sources is one every 29 seconds. Compare this to 
births (one every 8 seconds) and deaths (one every 13 seconds).

So, more people are born in this country than immigrate. Birth to death 
ratio is about 1:1.5, so just in that way, we are growing.

But getting back to immigrants. At the rate of one every 29 seconds, that's 
(math involved here) 1.06 million per year.

I repeat "THAT'S FROM ALL SOURCES."

That includes Mexico. So, assuming that more than 60,000 folks immigrate 
from places other than Mexico, that's leaves us with LESS THAN A MILLION 
from Mexico each year.

Gee, the problem is getting smaller and smaller.
