Every sign here in Alamance County is that the illegal alien population is steady - or even slightly down. Why come when the industries they gravitate to - textiles, furnituremaking, construction - are in a deep slump due to the current minidepression? Lots of textile mills and furniture factories around here have shut down in past year.

You sure see it here in Houston. The illegals are still pushing in here, obnoxious and belligerent as ever, destroying entire neighborhoods, crowding and dumbing down the schools, swarming emergency rooms for their kids' sniffles and scraped knees and filling up the jails, particularly on weekends with their knife fights and drunken-driving murders, etc.
