American Patrol Report/Illegal Immigration
Posted by Raven on September 28th, 2005
Another Illegal Immigration site has caught my eye and it should catch your attention as well.
More on that further down…
First, there is SHOCKING news about how illegal immigration has gotten much worse in the past few years… shocking only to those who pay no attention to this stuff.
More immigrants came to the United States illegally from 2000 through 2004 than the number who were granted legal status in those years, according to a study released yesterday that attributed much of the historic shift to visa slowdowns since 2001 and to the nation’s strong job market before that.
The study by the Pew Hispanic Center said that immigration to the United States — legal and illegal, from all regions of the world — totaled about 1.1 million each year during the 1990s, peaked in 2000 at 1.5 million and declined substantially since 2001 to earlier levels. The number of new arrivals increased in 2004, the study said, though it is too early to say that the rise will last.
But the study, based mainly on Census Bureau surveys, said legal immigration rose more slowly during the 1990s and declined more rapidly since 2000 than did illegal immigration. One result, it said, is that the 562,000 estimated new illegal immigrants who arrived last year was about the same as a decade earlier, while the number of new legal immigrants, an estimated 455,000, was lower.
Now that we know everything we have already known (LOL) to be true…go here to see how your elected reps voted on these issues.
Then go read what Tom Tancredo said to New Mexico Govenor Richardson…and then read what Richardson spewed back! You decide who really cares about illegal immigration.
Now, back to that website. I like this one as much as the previous two I posted about. Updated news, listings of events, screenshots of polls about illegal immigration (very interesting)…and lots of other items of interest. I would check this site out if you’re really interested in any and all news about this stuff.
