Very nice BG...thanks!

Interesting to note, that before 1990, there were only (I think) 7 or 8 years that were higher than anything after 1990. And I think all those years were preceeding the first world war. I wonder if there is any correlation?

Other than that...pre 1990, the numbers were VASTLY smaller than the rates we are currently at.

Again, this is only the "legal" immigrants being numbered. I wonder what today's "real" number of total immigrants (legal + illegal) really is?

For reasons that I and Archaea state, comparing todays demands of immigrant and yesteryears immigrants are apples and oranges. Yesteryears immigrants did not place the demands on govt. aid, insurances, welfare, medical...that todays immigrants do.

Hey...I have no knowledge of who this guy even is in this video...all I wanted to point out is, that whatever percentage of what he is saying is correct...it's still pretty alarming. And, can one argue the impact this is having in our society.
