Burning Atlanta

I don't have the time to go over some of this and comment but there's been a bit of a stir over some of this report. It was done by CIS but based on census figures. I shy away from studies that blend numbers for legal and illegal immigrants, not that I am not concerned about the impact of rampant immigration but my focus tends towards illegals. Anyway, it makes for a good read and anytime you hear one of those hand-wringing, bleeding-heart imbeciles making some comment about the US slamming the door in immigrants' faces you should keep this in mind.

Over the next decade, at current rates, another 15 million will arrive — the largest immigrant wave in our history.

Not bad for a country that supposedly is one of the most unpopular on Earth. That said, the study also notes that more than half the newcomers so far this decade — 5.6 million — have come illegally.
