be careful what you wish for.

from the article “Illegal immigrants make up 3.8 percent of the state’s population, the study says. Of illegal residents, about 250,000 held jobs, making up 5.3 percent of the state’s workforce.

Bottom line: 5.3 percent exceeds 3.8 percent, or in other words ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS HAVE A GREATER PARTICIPATION IN THE WORKFORCE THAN CITIZENS. (this is probably because illegals are of working age vs. retirement for citizens.)

Losing workers may not be the best plan.

Probably propaganda because Americans are out of work. You will be told the number is down but I doubt by much if any.

The Raleigh paper is probably some leftist rag.

You can fax congress for free to stop illegal immigration.

Well, I’m not moved by this report. sPEW research doesn’t impress me.

These folks still talk about 11 million illegal immigrants inside our nation. I don’t take them seriously, other than to realize they lie.

After adjustments to the 2000 Census, the government stated there were about 8.9 million illegal immigrants in 2000. And that figure was based on the fact that around 1990, the illegals had just been transitioned to citizens via Reagan’s amnesty.

We accumulated 8.9 million in ten years, but sPEW and the government want us to believe that from 2000 to 2009, only 25% of that figure had been added. In the early 2000s, the flow from Mexico was greater than it had ever been. Just about everyone agreed that the numbers were staggering. In the face of this, the government along with sPEW still claims that we only have 11 million here now. Bull s—t!

None of these groups are honest with regard to numbers. If we grant an amnesty right now, we’ll see between 20 and 35 million illegals step forward to become citizens.

The implications of this are very troubling.

I was in Durham this morning and looking at the people waiting at the bus stops I did NOT notice any decline.

NC unemployment is 10.5 percent. If illegal immigrants make up 5 percent of jobs and they were not available to take them from Americans, NC unemployment rate will be cut in half. Corporate greed for cheap labor and Dem desire for future voters can back to haunt Americans. Conclusion enemy to America is corporations and Dems.

I’ve been seeing a few of what I think may be illegals going west along I-10 with a lot of belongings with them. Sometimes there will be a small convey and maybe some even pulling another vehicle or trailer.
