Arguably. this staggering increase not only makes the argument for reform compelling. it also shifts the burden to those who would defend the current system to make the case for its continued existence. This chart. Mr. President. tracks population growth since 1970. You can see where it goes. This is where it would wind up by the year 2050. The red area is. as I have indicated. based on U.S. Census data and represents the increase in the admission of immigrants. The green area down here represents population growth if we were to admit 160.000 immigrants each year. My legislation. you will see. would admit more than twice that number. Yet the increase represented by the green line is still material.
