Sessions on immigration: right again

Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions's response to President Bush's immigration address is here. It is excellent, as usual. But, there's more where that came from...

Last Friday, Senator Sessions outlined 15 loopholes in the immigration bill currently being considered by the Senate.

Monday, he noted that the Senate bill "would permit up to 217.1 million new legal immigrants into the United States over the next 20 years, a number equal to 66 percent of the total current population of the United States," and that "even if the maximum levels are not reached, the increase to the U.S. population caused by S. 2611 [the bill under consideration] will be at least 78.7 million in 20 years, just over 25 percent of the total current population."

If President Bush is looking for a sensible solution to the immigration issue, he would do well to listen to Senator Sessions.
