<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The president laid out maximum numbers to be accepted from each region of the globe:? 22,000 from Africa.? 11,000 from East Asia.? 6,500 from Europe and Central Asia.? 5,500 from the Near East and South Asia.? 5,000 from Latin America and the Caribbean.The remaining 20,000 can be allocated by the State Department to various regions as the need arises.</div>

Why can't they make it... like 5 from each region? We don't need anymore fucking immigrants.

In 2001 we had 69,000, but even so, we still haven't reached 70 grand yet.I'm guessing though, the PResident forgot that South America existed?

[Capt. Comeback]

My point being that with these guys coming over as legal immigrants, that brings attention and more people want to come in illegaly.

I did not immigrate here. My ancestors did, but so did the "Native American's" ancestors.

Native Americans were always here. Noone in the world even knew that America existed so how exactly would they have immigrated?It's like Africans to Africa, Asians to Asia, and Caucasians to Europe.
