Sorry to bug you again but I had a funny thought. Now that we know the suspected numbers - why don’t we just go state by state and round up the small numbers first. Right?
We can start in Hawaii and try to get rid of the 2,000. Then we can move on to the other states. Well...... it’s a thought.
I was right about them not liking the cold however. And coincidently, the state you mentioned that had a lot less than Ohio - New Mexico - is right next to us on the list.
I'm surprised that you would find NM high on that list. NM residents don't think so. Reasons for that are that NM doesn't have a very robust economy and not much agriculture. As for cold climates? WA state has one of the biggest populations of illegal aliens and naturalized hispanics (formerly illegals in many cases) because of their large agricultural economy.
