My wife took the English proficency test at the INS last year. Quite frankly answering one question from a list, and speaking one simple phrase does not demostrate English proficency.

Make certain you check the illegal prison population at both the federal and state levels.

I have been a multiple lines insurance agent for 37 years, and I want to say the illegal uninsured population is drastically affecting the costs of health and auto insurance for those who do carry insurance.

Oh, it is morally wrong and un-American to allow 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants to have amnesty when 4 million are in line to legally immigrate to America. The 4 million figure is from Kris Kobach.

Here are some figures you should examine.

Legal Immigration from Europe and Mexico compared by year.

As everyone can see the legal immigration from Mexico has been almost twice as large as from all of Europe. This does not include the illegal immigration from Mexico.

Great post Gary. We need more statistics to put the whole issue into better perspective. Granted, statistics on the illegals can sometimes only be crudely guessed at.
