Recession, illegal immigration expected to clash

A U.S. recession could worsen the illegal immigration crisis, says investigative journalist Jerome Corsi.

Dr. Corsi believes the United States economy is currently in recession, judging by the continuing rise in gas prices and the weakening of the U.S. dollar. But the New York Times best-selling author believes the recession may bring another issue to a head -- the continued presence of millions of illegal aliens from south of the border.

"Ten percent of Mexico's population living in the United States, maybe America will tolerate. [But] 50 percent or 30 percent? Well, we're already going to have 20 percent of Mexico's population here within two years," he details. "Those are the projections. By 2010 there will be 20 percent of Mexico's population in the United States."

Corsi believes certain parts of the country are simply not going to be able to continue to subsidize illegal immigrants. "How are we going to be able to pay millions of dollars with state governments going into deficits all across the country?" he questions.

Another problem, says Corsi, will be the amount of jobs available as the economy worsens. "[I]llegal aliens competing for the few jobs that are there is going to get to be a more resented process," he maintains.

The journalist argues that as the American people move into a recession, the United States needs to get serious about security measures such as building a border fence.
