    That's why I said I only "half-hijacked". You hijacked the other half. LMFAO, J>

    In a sense, isn't everyone either an immigrant or the descendant of an immigrant, regardless of where you live? Any of those people depicted in the video might have recently immigrated. But if not, for sure (regardless of their color and/or ethnic background) they are the descendant of someone who immigrated, be it tens, hundreds, or thousands of years ago... we don't know.

    An immigrant is simply someone who moves from one geopolitical region to another. The ancestors of the American Indian are thought to have immigrated across the land bridge from Asia circa 10,000BC. Europeans began immigrating to the US in the 16th century. I'm not very familiar with the history of Belgium, but I'd guess that the ancestors of the Celts didn't always live in Belgium... they invaded/immigrated from somewhere else.

    I think the "hot" issue in the USA right now is "illegal" immigration. This video, however, focuses on the longer standing issue of legal immigration and how the number of immigrants could swamp the US economy if not managed.
    The Celts came out of Asia and spread across Europe.

    GW, I'm being a little lazy, but is there a website that shows how the individual senators voted on this? Thanks

    It's not quite a simple as "this" since several variants were involved in the total picture. In any case, the main bill was 1639. The senate voting record can be seen here:

    http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/vote_menu_110_1.htm


    and #235 is the latest vote on S1639
