I have always said, if they have a livelihood at home, they’ll stay home.

Thanks Obama /s

The delay in reporting, based on the delay in statistical tabulation of something that happened because of an “economy” some time back.

No jobs = no illegals.

Our federal government and their lackluster sorta kinda attempt at securing our border doesn’t deserve the credit. Likewise this also demonstrates how the illegal issue could have been dealt with many years ago, fairly easily had their been a “sincere” attempt to gain control of this problem, through the IRS. By targeting employers and levying substantial fines, this issue would have gone away quickly despite all those that scream it would have been impossible.

And just who expects us to believe these stats claiming that the Mexican invasion is over?

Maybe they’re not streaming quite so heavily into Californica, but then nobody wants to live there anymore. And who can blame them?

How about a survey of ranchers in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico? Do they sleep better at night now?

Estimates are based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau. How many 13-15 strong Mexican households do you think reported accurately in the census?

I've seen no decline and believe the numbers are wrong and intended to fool the public into believing the problem is not as bad as many of us know it really is.

I haven’t seen any 13-15 strong Mexican households since I moved out of Ca 20 years ago.

Every politician. So that they won’t be pressured to do anything about the millions of illegal aliens still here.

I don’t trust this report one bit.

Obama needs this, so it’s is very likely faux.

Not seeing them doesn't change the fact they do exist.

Escondido, CA, comes to mind.

This story relies on US census data that is specious at best. At worst, it's an outright lie. Not that the federal government would lie to us. /s

Regardless of the veracity of the statistic, once one resigns themselves to the intellectually offensive possibility that the government actually wants this country flooded with foreign invaders to bleed the nation dry of financial resources and the ability to resist, everything just falls into place. It all makes sense in that context. Sometimes you just gotta have a stiff drink and wrap your mind around unpleasant realities.

guatemalans have literally taken over my town (Jupiter, FL). It isn’t just mexico. There are anchor babies EVERYWHERE here.

Jupiter has the highest guatemalan population per capita in the United States and it is becoming a ridiculous burden.

And the local rich Republicans employ them to trim their hedges, mow their lawns, and clean their houses. Selfish is the word that comes to mind when I go to houses (for work) on Jupiter Island and Palm Beach. Do as I say, not as I do.

Ruin a beautiful little seaside town because you don’t want to pay retail for your landscaping and housekeeping. Makes no sense.

“No jobs = no illegals.”

We’ve got a good number here in NJ that didn’t come here to work; apparently they came here to breed. The people they were mating with are shocked that Americans are learning how to cut their own grass again; we have plenty of time on our hands and no money left to funnel to Mexico...

See # 16; they certainly aren’t leaving NJ. The work has dried up for many of the day laborers as the Americans that used to hire them lost their jobs and/or fled the state; the ones popping out the anchor babies are paid via welfare/food stamps/housing allowances to do so. They are displacing many of the blacks here in our cities, and many of the whites in the surrounding suburbs. My town was renowned for its St. Patrick’s Day parades until about 20 years ago; now the Peruvian Day parade is much bigger, and our fish & chips restaurants are now South American restaurants with signs 100% in Spanish.

“I haven’t seen any 13-15 strong Mexican households since I moved out of Ca 20 years ago.”

A relative of mine bought a nice rancher in Sonoma out of foreclosure. Nice on the outside. Inside five Mexican families had turned it into an unbelievable dump. There were virtually no plug outlets that worked, ditto for the faucets. The living and dining rooms had been “subdivided,” and additional windows had been added but you could still see daylight around them. It was so dirty that we had to spray sealer over all the walls and ceilings because the dirt would not wash off! I guess they missed the dirt floors or something from “back home.”

During that time the number of illegal immigrants from Mexico residing in the U.S. fell sharply from 7 million to about 6.1 million. Those estimates are based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau.



HA HA HA HA HA HA!




There are probably at LEAST a million illegals in the greater DFW area all by itself!

We have entire swaths of towns that are above 95%.

And that is nothing compared to Houston and San Antonio.

The population of Texas alone could account for this clowns' entire "estimate."

Area Name Texas

Total 25,883,999

Anglo 11,468,216

Black 2,978,813

Hispanic 10,219,674

Other 1,217,296

http://www.dshs.state.tx.us/chs/popdat/ST2011.shtm

Estimating that about half the "hispanic" population is comprised of illegals that comes to five million just in Texas.
