I hate to be the bearer of bad news. Read it and weep.
The invasion of millions of illegals extends far beyond the borders of Arizona, Cal, Texas, etc...
You can run, but you can't hide.

Hispanics Largest Growing Population In Idaho- puts more pressure on public schools, must change
By Associated Press
BOISE -
Idaho's Hispanic population grew three times faster than the state as a whole in the first two years after the last census.
Leaders of the state's largest minority say that puts more pressure on public schools.
According to new estimates from the Census Bureau, the state grew at three-point-two percent overall from mid-2000 to mid-2002, with the Hispanic population jumping ten-point-six percent. Only 13 other states saw higher percentage growth in their Hispanic groups.
Gladys Esquibel, who heads the state Commission on Hispanic Affairs, says schools must change to address the needs of Hispanic students. The latest results from the state standards achievement tests show that more than half of Hispanic high school sophomores failed.
Well, I haven't seen anyone around here that even appears close to being an illegal. Try to comfort yourself by thinking that other places are as bad as Southern California and the Southwest, but it just isn't so. I only think of the illegal problem when I get on FR. There is nothing...nothing to remind me of it up here.
