Senate Bill Math

Jeff Sessions thinks the Senate immigration bill will bring us 217m new immigrants in the next 20 years, not the measly 100m the Heritage Foundation estimated.

Given that there has never in all of American history been an estimate of future immigration that did not under-estimate the numbers by an order of magnitude, my guess would be we’re looking at a billion.

Bet what the hey — this is a nation of immigrants, right?
