Washington, DC, Jun. 14 (UPI) -- The number of illegal migrants arriving in the United States has exceeded the number of new legal immigrants, a Pew Hispanic Center report finds. In recent years some 700,000 unauthorized migrants have arrived annually, compared with about 610,000 legal immigrants. "Unauthorized Migrants: Numbers and Characteristics" was prepared by Jeffrey Passel, a veteran demographer and senior research associate at the center. The report estimates the number of people living in families in which the head of the household or the spouse is an illegal alien at 13.9 million as of March 2004, including 4.7 million children. The report also said at least 6.3 million unauthorized workers were employed as of March 2004, comprising 4.3 percent of the civilian labor force. Overall, illegal migrants are less educated than other sectors of the population, with 49 percent not having completed high school, compared with 9 percent of the native-born and 25 percent of legal immigrants.

"...if we just up and deported every illegal, there would be lots of second-hand legals (born here, legality in question) who would take to the streets. riots would ensue."

Offer them a choice. They can stay here legally and peacefully, or be shipped off with their parents. If they then riot, DEFINITELY ship them out along with their parents.

I'm TIRED of the namby-pamby, wishy-washing around on this issue. If you're here illegally, go home or be shipped home. Those are ONLY two allowable options.

That sums up a lot of things quite nicely, doesn't it.

I am convinced GWB is doing this on purpose knowing the chaos that is ensuing with this illegal alien disaster.

700,000 unauthorized migrants have arrived annually

And the gov't would have us believe that there are "only" 10 million of them in the country?

Triple that figure. ...at the very least.

Remember, this is only an estimate. The actual number of illegal aliens may vary depending upon ...

Why should we even have borders, or countries. Just let everyone roam the world freely. It's good for business.

This is exactly Bush's plan under NAFTA. Bush, Fox, and the Canadian PM, seek to combine Mexico, USA, Canada, making us all one, big, country. Run, in theory, a bit like the European Union. We are being sold up the river, my friend.

they must be using the new math...

There was a horrifying thread on this yesterday:

Gotta "outdo the EU!!" That's the battle cry!

[janetgreen]

If the area where I live is any indication, the numbers are a lot larger than anybody is reporting.

You should see what California has become! A glance at parts of Los Angeles reminds me of a Mexican shanty border town.

There was a horrifying thread on this yesterday:


I saw that! I saved it. I printed it. I have made copies of it (less FR identifying features). I plan to pass it out around town, and to various people I know who will also share the info.

It will be posted in several "waiting rooms". Oh, yes, I am not going to stand idly by while Bush et al, sells us out!

BTW, how did you get that link to print? I've mentioned that post on other threads, but have to write out the full title. It would be much easier to provide a link like you did!

Just a word about the wall idea. It would be extremely costly, might stop the flow of illegal immigrants, but cannot offer our nation security. Our two most vulnerable points for a nuclear or biological attack by terrorists are adjacent to Tijuana and Juarez, Mexico. San Diego, California and El Paso, Texas or not only prime targets for terrorists to strike our civilian population, but the major military installation nearby.

We need to start thinking way beyond a wall, or a massive military presence along the border. The solution must secure our nation, end the mass migration, and be lasting.

LOL! Never mind. Copy. Paste. I'm, upset I guess, not thinking....

That isn't really news. We don't need to be one country to be allies. The real news would be the fact that we aren't.

I wonder how many tax dollars it took to figure this out!

Illegal Immigrants ARE Invaders/Terrorists. Period. Bush is real big on letting in Mexican Illegals, while trying to stop terrorists and drug dealers.

IMO, all three of this group are as bad as the other. They ALL must be stopped.

A wall is a good start for illegals and the second amendment will cover any Middle Eastern Terrorists.

There is really only one legitimate solution to rioting.
