"The number of immigrants living in American households rose 16 percent over the last five years, fueled largely by recent arrivals from Mexico, according to fresh data released by the Census Bureau.
And increasingly, immigrants are bypassing the traditional gateway states like California and New York and settling directly in parts of the country that until recently saw little immigrant activity - regions like the Upper Midwest, New England and the Rocky Mountain States.
'...Essentially, it's a continuation of the Mexicanization of U.S. immigration,' said Steven Camarota, director of research at the Center for Immigration Studies. 'You would expect Mexicans to be increasing their share in places like Georgia and North Carolina, which already saw some increases, but they've also increased their share of the population, and quite dramatically, in states like Michigan, Delaware and Montana.'
More of America's immigrants, legal or not, come from Mexico than any other country, an estimated 11 million in 2005, compared with nearly 1.8 million Chinese and 1.4 million Indians."
If I remember correctly, it was Jimmy Carter who pulled the border patrol off of the border.
"We can't have people like this moving here....."
Funniest thing about that link you posted, I couldn't a single one of those that claimed to be an ILLEGAL ALIEN.
No one has any idea of how many Mexicans there are in Mexico. Since 1965, about 25 million have come here that we know about. In addition, I would guess (and my guess is just as good as the government's, maybe better)there are about 25 million illegals presently here.
Bottom line, right now, there are probably getting to be about 100 million Mexicans in the Unites States, give or take 10 million, legally, illegally, or the offspring of same. I would be delighted to be proven wrong, but I and the highly paid technocrats of my government are, scientifically speaking, just not far apart in ignorance of this fascinating subject because of the illegal immigration question.
Any attempt, well-meaning or not, to compare Mexican immigration to any other previous immigration is fatuous in the extreme.
Una pinguitillita.
The correct word is "Marxicans" not mexicans.
Didn't say they could or would have done better. My comment IS, that THE PRESIDENT should have done something, and refuses to do it. Rush said it perfectly a couple of days ago, Bush is not a conservative. He has conservative leanings in some areas, but is no conservative. Thus, Bush is open to the liberal ways of doing things when it comes to some of these types of issues, and in this case, he is. He has liberalized the illegal situation by refusing to do anything about it, and wanting to make all illegals, legal.
Mexifornia?
No, it'll be something like, "Para ingles, elpresso uno."
The ONLY consolation (and it's faint consolation at that), is that their victory will be short lived. It won't be long before espanol is back to #2, with arabic taking the #1 position.

President Bush can propose legislation but it takes Congress to make it happen. The problem is the 17th amendment which made our senators mere three term congressmen. Imagine if the states still appointed senators. The illegal immigration problem would have been solved decades ago. Our congress critters are far more concerned with reelection than the fate of their country.
