How Many Immigrants Should America Take?

Paul Ciotti writes: “The pope wants us to welcome immigrants as pilgrims. That’s fine. The U.S. has welcomed more immigrants than any other country in the world. I wish he would put a number on it though. We currently have perhaps 40 million illegal immigrants in the country. How many does the people want us to take? 100 million, 500 million? You got to put numbers on these things. The American taxpayer can’t support an unlimited number of immigrants, especially when so many immediately apply for welfare. People without jobs, who can’t compete in schools and live off welfare end up hating this country and the average working American who is paying their bills.”
