Have you ever wondered about the real problems behind immigration that have confounded and confused so many Americans and, in particular, lawmakers?
Roy Beck, executive director of the non-partisan group NumbersUSA, argues in this interesting and alarming 14-minute video, it's virtually deregulated immigration laws enacted by Congress in 1965 that have taxed our country's resources to near beyond the brink.

"It is time to stop politicizing this immigration travesty, and face the real world people."
