How many are in the country legally? How many are children of illegals?
From the L. A. Times:
1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people) are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal, whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliensin Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8 Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L.. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.. (There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County .)
(All 10 of the above facts were published in the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.
We are fools for letting this continue.
Meaningless questions in California.
When Charles Dana wrote of his experiences in the California of 1848, the total Mexican population of California was about 5,000 people ... or less.
Your question is unanswerable right now, because of the ridiculous and probably illegal custom of granting citizenship to the children of those in the country illegally.
When the government says, "There are 11 million illegals in the US..." they really mean they think that's the number in LA County. Furthermore, the government telling you that "39%" of the CA population is Hispanic, means nothing, because they actually have no, repeat NO, idea of how many illegal aliens are in CA, or anywhere else.
Hurt most by illegal immigration: African-Americans. All they have left in LA is the airport and part of the Welfare Dept! The Mexicans are even taking the lion's share of the Welfare payments and AFDC, because the Latino illegitimacy rate is soaring to match that of the Blacks..
