Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told a gathering that legalized abortion is in large part responsible for illegal immigration in the United States.

Speaking in Arlington, Va., at the recent national convention of College Republicans – a 250,000-member organization that promotes GOP policies and candidates – the Texas Republican said: "I contend [abortion] affects you in immigration. If we had those 40 million children that were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn’t need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today. Think about it.”

DeLay echoed remarks from former Georgia Democratic Sen. Zell Miller, the Web site rawstory.com reported. He told an anti-abortion conference in March that abortion was responsible for illegal immigration and problems in recruiting soldiers for the armed forces.
