The U.S. immigrant population has doubled since 1990, nearly tripled since 1980, and quadrupled since 1970, when it stood at 9.7 million. Of the 40 million immigrants in the country in 2010, 13.9 million arrived in 2000 or later making it the highest decade of immigration in American history, even though there was a net loss of jobs during the decade. Growth in the immigrant population has primarily been driven by high levels of legal immigration. Roughly three-fourths of immigrants in the country are here legally. With nearly 12 million immigrants, Mexico was by far the top immigrant-sending country, accounting for 29 percent of all immigrants and 29 percent of growth in the immigrant population from 2000 to 2010. The median age of immigrants in 2010 was 41.4 compared to 35.9 for natives.
Republicans need to fight and speak out about abortion. The Catholic church is 45%+ hispanic, and if the republicans push abortion and homosexual marriage they might have a chance.
I still believe the illegals need to be deported and be made to come here legally. The liberals are only concerned with votes, not laws. Unless the republicans are willing to come out fighting, we will lose.
