Your population is slightly under 500,000, with an estimated 2,500 illegal aliens living there, or roughly one half of one percent of your total population are illegal aliens.

If you consider the ten million illegal aliens residing in the U.S. today, and with an estimated total population of 281,422,000, Wyoming's population of illegal aliens is actually higher as a percentage of the population, than the rest of the US.

10 million out of 281 million would be pretty close to 3.5% and I don't understand how you think with 0.5% (half a percent), Wyoming has a higher percentage. In fact, the national average is six times higher than Wyoming's. Check your math! And that is before you consider the fact that Bears Stearns says we likely have closer to 20 million illegals. The census bureau has a long history of underestimating these things so there is no reason to trust them over a private organization with a fiduciary responsibility to investors.

Here's a clue...they're not all Mexicans.

I never said they were. I am well aware that about 40% of them are from elsewhere besides Mexico. And I have nothing against Mexicans or Hispanics of any sort. My mother was born in Cuba so I am half Hispanic. My problem is with illegal aliens and I don't care about their race, creed or color.

But this thread is largely about securing our borders and I'm sure you know what country lies South of our southern border. Of the million plus illegals apprehended on the southern border last year, about 65,000 of them were OTMs (other than Mexicans). The rest were Mexicans.
