Illegal immigration: Which state has the most illegal immigrants?

I've read California, Texas, which do you think?


    




BORED AT WORK
Hispanics increased their hold as the country's largest minority group, at 14.5 percent of the population, compared with 12.8 percent for blacks.

Hispanic is a term for people with ethnic backgrounds in Spanish- speaking countries. Hispanics can be of any race, and most in the U.S. are white. When demographers talk about the shrinking percentage of white people in America, generally they are talking about whites who are not Hispanic.

— Such whites are a minority in four states — Hawaii, New Mexico, California and Texas — and the District of Columbia. The share of white people fell below 60 percent in three other states — Maryland, Georgia and Nevada. Nationally, non-Hispanic whites make up about 67 percent of the population, down from 70 percent at the start of the decade.

California, New York, Texas and Florida have the nation's largest immigrant populations. The new data show that immigrants will travel beyond those states if there are jobs available.

South Carolina's immigrant population grew by 47 percent since 2000, more than any other state. Hispanics grew by 48 percent in Arkansas, the most of any state.


This comes from the Associated Press.

I think that is correct since they are border states. However, they are EVERYWHERE.

California.


?
I'd bet on newyork. And maybe some of the other northeastern states, like newjersey or pennsylvania or Virginia. Texas, california, Arizona, New Mexico, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida could be in the running, but I bet newyork is the most illegal state in the Union.


galok
California had the largest illegal immigrant population, with 2.8 million in January 2005, followed by Texas with 1.4 million and Florida with 850,000.
