Pew usually has a liberal slant, IMHO, but if this is true, then rats will be in a bind.

Understandable - unfortunately, has no bearing on the current situation. We still have to enforce the law.

What a crock of sh**. This is misdirection to try and take the subject of illegals out of the election campaigns.

The commie libs in the state run propaganda machine have been celebrating for the past 10 years the fact that the invasion from the south will make whitey a minority by 2025 if Algore’s prophecies don’t come true and destroy the Earf first. I wonder if they’re going to adjust the date.

Maybe the Mexicans have realized that things are better in Mexico than here right now. They should avoid coming up here until things shake themselves out.

I do not believe this 'study' one bit.

Meanwhile, the 0bozo administration fights State Voter ID laws and State Immigration Laws all the while selectively enforcing immigration laws and in effect granting amnesty to illegals --all this premised upon making the claim that they can not handle the workload that this 'study' suggests does not exist.

It is very coincidental that this should be announced just when the supremes hear arguments regarding Arizona’s SB1070.

I would offer this simple view. Lots of houses stand empty right now...which five years ago...had owners in them and always doing some type of minor renovation. From my local area in Arlington, VA...I’d say that half of all the small renovation deals...were done by illegals. If the houses empty....small-time renovation has come to a close. Even if you do occupy a house...there’s fair odds that you are pretty cramped on money for improving your residence.

So I’m thinking that street illegal that you used to hire for a day of drywall work....has decided enough is enough...and returned to his hometown.

You have to admit...the US economy in most small towns in America...is stagnant. Without cash flow...why would an illegal in hopes of finding day-to-day employment linger around?

As part of the lowering unemployment rate is actually caused by people running out of benefits, so this stat of Mexicans no longer coming to America may be caused by the fact that all of them are already here, just waiting...waiting for the word from on high.

When the ILLEGAL migtration falls to negative 12 million (or whatever the number is now) then our work is done.

“Maybe Mexicans have realized things are better in Mexico than here right now...’’<< They should. Mexico’s GDP was 5% last year. Damn sight better than ours was at an anemic 1.2%.

I do.

Demographics, demographics, demographics. Demographics is destiny.

TFR in Mexico is only 2.27 children/women.

If we take 2.1 children as the ratio for population balance, that leaves 0.17 free to emigrate. That means only about 8 percent of the entire population would be free to emigrate, or only around 8 million people. Max. Even if you had unrestricted borders you’d get 8 million mexicans in the US over a period of 20 years.

This is a most interesting development. If this is accurate, the border security issue may work itself out and become less of an issue. The big question is whether this is a temporary blip caused largely by the recession or is it the beginning of something long term?

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.

I do

This is what I have a problem believing: "This sharp downward trend in net migration has led to the first significant decrease in at least two decades in the number of unauthorized Mexican immigrants living in the U.S.—to 6.1 million in 2011, down from a peak of nearly 7 million in 2007"

In my opinion MANY illegals have been authorized under 0b0z0's selective enforcement strategy comprising virtual amnesty.

I contend that the count comprising the actual number of illegals here in the US depends upon who does the counting and what the definition of 'authorized' is that they are using.

Gee, you mean that they didn't move here because America was a less oppressive society and they could better their lives living in freedom, but actually they only came for the cash? I'm shocked!

This is actually what everyone here should remind any liberal that tries to to make you feel guilty about sending illegal aliens back.

Agreed. If they are illegal aliens, then they aren’t going to be documented, then how can you get an accurate count? It’s the same as all the ‘homeless’ surveys.
