WASHINGTON The number of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. has dropped for the first time in two decades decreasing by 8 percent as the sour economy dried up jobs and increased enforcement made it harder to sneak across the border with Mexico, a new study finds.
Much of the decline comes from a sharp drop-off in illegal immigrants from the Caribbean, Central America and South America attempting to cross the southern border of the U.S., according to the Pew Hispanic Center, which based its report on an analysis of 2009 census data.
The findings come amid bitter debate over Arizona's strict new immigration law, which was passed earlier this year but is on hold for now as it is challenged in federal court. The Obama administration contends the state law usurps federal authority and promotes racial profiling, while Arizona leaders say states are justified to step in if federal enforcement falls substantially short.

I guess the guy was right; half of Mexico is here now...
I read a statistic that one in ten people born in Mexico now live in the United States; I can’t believe it is that low.
We may not be getting the large numbers of people from Latin America, but the real reason “illegal immigration” is declining is that Obama is simply legalizing the worst of those illegal immigrants already here - the many, many visa overstayers from Africa and Muslim countries.
That’s what he really wants. And he’s been doing it all through administrative changes. Encouraging hysteria about Latin Americans was simply a distraction so you wouldn’t see what the other hand was doing. The month after he was elected, he made an administrative change to change immigration quotas in order to get more LEGAL Muslim immigrants and reduce legal immigration from other areas. So in many ways, while people have been worrying about illegals, I think it’s the legals we really have to be concerned about.
A country should base its immigration policy on what is useful for the country. But these new legal immigrants aren’t just people who come here to work or to make money; many of them are brought here under “family reunification” and go directly on welfare. They want to take us over, and Obama is cool with that. Look at Detroit.
This is pure Bull Sh*t!! Study done by Pew HISPANIC Center. There must be 12 million illegals in California alone. The reason they say that illegals are leaving is because of the bad economy. Oh really, so the economy in the hell hole they came from is any better? Does their country of origin hand out freebies like the US?
It’s a coordinated effort to create the impression that all of the illegal hooplah isn’t worth discussing>>>>>>>>>>>
And that the feds are doing their jobs in good faith,( they are not), they are pretending to do their jobs.
The fact is that the feds will not acknowledge that there is anarchy south of the border and along the border.Obama wants that anarchy imported to the USA, especially into traditional red states. This allows the illegals to accumulate wealth through drug sales, wealth that will beused to support Obama, Acorn, and Mexican nationalists.
HopenChange for the Obama defined “under classes.”
How do we show this anarchy. when news of it is censored by the Mexican Government and by Obama’s MSM?
Simple:
Broadcast to everyone what is happening , tell everyone you know to visit this site:
( warning graphic media)
Make that site and its facts common knowledge. It is simple to conclude that the federal response is nothing but propaganda , as it allows for the importation of violence into the USA. All Obama has done has been to put in little staff increments so he can shape where the violence goes, into red states Arizona and Texas, instead of liberal/leftist New Mexico and California.
Obama is a genuine fascist, and people need to understand that and what his “historic justice” means:

This report out of Mexico tends to knock down the ‘fewer illegal alien’ propaganda.

Current data re monetary remittances
Individual monetary remittances sent to Mexico from abroad rose 1.84% in July and reached 1.867 billion dollars. The U.S. is the largest source of these remittances and, despite the economic recession, Mexico has received 12.495 billion dollars from January to July. That, along with petroleum, constitutes one of Mexicos largest sources of income.

“TURN ON FOXNEWS, THEY’RE CARRYING THE WATER THAT THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM IS OVER, THEY BOUGHT THESE PHONY STORIES THAT IMMIGRATION IS WAY DOWN, SHEP IS HAILING IT AS A MIRACLE, I’M GOING TO PUKE, TURN ON FOX AND WATCH THEM SPREAD THE LIE”
They didn’t buy anything...Murdoch is pro amnesty and a globalist pretending to represent conservatism. Just another trap that most fall for.
No problem -I was not suggesting you at fault IF it came off that way I apologize myself -more, I was correcting the lazy and in some cases corrupt media who seem to report whatever facts and results are handed them rather than do their own investigations, research, and 'studies'...
The media need to do their job -right now few do...
