Ring--

You have something against runaway population growth. Fine. So do we all. But as I said earlier, as people get more education, the size of the family tends to drop. Case in point: I was just reading about the Speaker of the California Assembly. Hispanic, came from a poor family--1 of 12 children. I'd hazard a guess that his own family is much smaller. That's the way it goes. You cannot extrapolate huge numbers of kids indefinitely into the future.

Also: a question for you. I'm just curious. Try to make the effort to put yourself into the shoes of an illegal immigrant. If you were told you'd have to leave the country--go back to your country of origin--in order to apply to come back, would you agree? Would you trust government bureaucracies to run efficiently--and trust the US government to let you back in? I sure as hell would not.   How about you?
