====================================
Among the reports findings:
- Since 2001, the number of legal permanent residents entering the United States has declined from 578,000 to 455,000, while the number of illegal immigrants has increased from 549,000 to 562,000. Legal, temporary residents account for the remainder of people entering the country.
- Declines in legal immigration "appear to reflect processing backlogs, security delays and other developments that followed the Sept. 11 attacks," the report says.
- Mexico accounted for about a third of all U.S. immigrants, a percentage that was steady from 1992 to 2004.
- More immigrants are shunning states with large immigrant communities, such as New York and California, and moving to states with smaller foreign-born populations, such as North Carolina and Iowa.
REPORT: Illegal immigration has increased.
CONSENSUS IN WASHINGTON: That's right - WE MADE IT HAPPEN.
===========================================
The pace of illegal immigration to the United States has increased despite tighter security measures and it generally parallels the pace of economic growth and the availability of jobs, a report said Tuesday.
And we can thank the Bush Administration and the GOP controlled Congress for this.
*yawn* So what else is new.
Any surprises? Absolutely NOT!
"Overall, immigration to the United States declined along with the economy after 2000"
Like the two are connected...HA HA
BUILD THE WALL AND DEPORT THEM ALL!!!

Doesn't the Pew Hispanic Center have an agenda? They are trying to make it look like there is really no problem.
These numbers are off by a factor between 10 and 20.
But, but, but .... we are at WAR! This is not possible. No nation at "WAR!" would allow it's borders to be compromised so easily.
