What are your thoughts here A Portrait of Unauthorized Immigrants in the United States?
|
Unauthorized immigrants living in the United States are more geographically dispersed than in the past and are more likely than either U.S. born residents or legal immigrants to live in a household with a spouse and children. In addition, a growing share of the children of unauthorized immigrant parents--73%--were born in this country and are U.S. citizens.
These are among the key findings of a new analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, which builds on previous work estimating the size and growth of the U.S. unauthorized immigrant population. A 2008 report by the Center estimated that 11.9 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the United States; it concluded that the undocumented immigrant population grew rapidly from 1990 to 2006 but has since stabilized. In this new analysis, the Center estimates that the rapid growth of unauthorized immigrant workers also has halted; it finds that there were 8.3 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. labor force in March 2008.
Based on March 2008 data collected by the Census Bureau, the Center estimates that unauthorized immigrants are 4% of the nation's population and account for 5.4% of its workforce. Their children, both those who are unauthorized immigrants themselves and those who are U.S. citizens, make up 6.8% of the students enrolled in the nation's elementary and secondary schools.
About three-quarters (76%) of the nation's unauthorized immigrants are Hispanic. The majority of undocumented immigrants (59%) are from Mexico. Significant regional sources of unauthorized immigrants include Asia (11%), Central America (11%), South America (7%), the Caribbean (4%) and the Middle East (less than 2%).
These estimates are based mainly on data from March Current Population Surveys, conducted by the Census Bureau, through 2008, augmented with legal status assignments and adjusted to compensate for undercount; some estimates are from the 1990 and 2000 Censuses. For more details, see the report's Methodology appendix.

and adjusted to compensate for undercount.
what does this mean, this is not an accurate report, too many adjustments and estimates. where are the estimates or rather the facts on how many citizens are murdered everyday by illegals or the molestations, or the disease estimates. I would not believe what pewhispanic said in the first place, I will stick to reading the facts! |

I believe many of the immigrants from Mexico are law abiding and hard
working individuals. A certain percent is committing crimes having their children here for FREE. How nice for them but not my tax dollar! Also why should I learn to speak spanish! Its nice to speak more then one language but the USA is a ENGLISH speaking country! |

Great news now I can maybe find more Mexican products at my near by store!. Do you know how hard it is to find Pan Bimbo in my city? I have to go clear to the other side of town. And let's not get into trying to find Carne Asada!
Can't wait for the next Mexican market to pop up! so many hot latinas there. |

This really shows us that they are not ALL wanting to live in the SouthWest and 'take it back' like someone else claimed on here earlier.....so it's true that they are dispersed because there are jobs all over the states that Americans refuse to do, not just the SouthWest.
Thanks for sharing and proving my point! Good thing you are finally coming to your senses. |
