[QUOTE="Gene2memE, post: 75885064, member: 341130"] None of your hypotheticals seem to have anything to do with your original question, which was do more people emigrate to the US legally than the 100,00 illegally caught crossing the border in February. To which the answer appears to most definitely be a yes. Somewhere north of 1.8 million people legally become emigrees just via permanent residency and naturalisations. This doesn't count other intakes, such as refugees, asylum seekers and special visa recipients. The 10 year average is notably lower, at about 1.2 million emigrees per year. Based on that, the flows are level pegged- but that ignores the ~300-400,000 deportations and the hundreds of thousands of 'returns' (people detained at/near the border and put back across it) per year. Oh, and birthright citizens aren't naturalisations. They're automatically citizens. They CAN sponsor their parents for citizenship- but not until they're 21. The process is also a long one, averaging more than 10 years, and is unsuccessful in the majority of cases. Do you actually think the plan of someone who illegally immigrated, then had and raised a kid or kids to 21 and then spent 10 plus years on a longshot bid for citizenship - risking deportation through the process- is to wait 30 plus years so they apply for benefits? Really? That's what you think their motivation is? [/QUOTE]
