¿Y tu?

No muy bien, tambien. In most cases I refuse to use what little Spanish I know, especially when the person I'm dealing with pretends not to know any English, yet still occupies a job in my country.

The English-speaking nations of the world share a basis in English Common Law. That is what sets them apart in terms of justice and liberty from the rest of the world. May we be damned if we allow that heritage to be eroded.

Interesting graphs....
For the broad scope and broadcasting between the states of these "immigrants" from the southern border mostly I suspect.. is, well... let's say..

It seems to be very well planned.... traveling to other states by penniless folks is impossible... without help of some sort.. except by foot..

Illegal Immigrants Affect Congressional Landscape

Wednesday, November 26, 2003

LOS ANGELES — Even though the law doesn't allow them to vote, illegal immigrants are changing the landscape of the U.S. government — and affecting the census' depiction of the population.



Four states, including California, gained congressional seats because of an immigration increase and nine states, including Montana, either lost or failed to gain seats, according to the Center for Immigration Studies (search).

In California, the 31st District was created after the 2000 Census (search) showed a major population increase, even though nearly half of those living there aren't American citizens.

Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra (search ), the U.S. congressman for the 31st District, said his constituents still pay taxes and contribute to society.

"An individual doesn't have to be a citizen to pay taxes — you pay taxes if you work in this country, you pay taxes if you purchase something," he said.

But those like Montana's only U.S. congressman, Republican Rep. Denny Rehberg (search ), said the illegal immigrants skew the congressional delegation.

"They cheat us, frankly, and it is the cheating that gives us underrepresentation," he said.
