The number of immigrants crossing the border illegally into the U.S. appears to be on the rise again after dropping during the recession.
The total number of immigrants living in this country unlawfully edged up from 11.3 million in 2009 to 11.7 million last year, with those from countries other than Mexico at an apparent all-time high, according to a report released Monday by the Pew Research Center's Hispanic Trends Project.
The change is within the margin of error, and there will be a more precise census measure released later this year. Still, based in part on other factors such as increased U.S. border apprehensions, the sharp decline in illegal immigration from 2007-2009 has clearly bottomed out, with signs the numbers are now rising, Pew said.
Pew said that among the six states with the largest numbers of immigrants here illegally, only Texas had a consistent increase in illegal immigration from 2007 to 2011, due in part to its stronger economy. Its number was unchanged from 2011 to 2012. Two states — Florida and New Jersey — had an initial drop but then increases during the same 2007-2011 period. Three states — California, Illinois and New York — showed only declines.....snip~
New signs of rising illegal immigration into US
Associated Press – 20 hrs ago
Immigration is back on the rise.....this Administration wants to give out more Student and Worker Visas. Do you think all this influx was being looked at with what its affect will be on Obamacare, crime, and the economy. We have nothing solid going with this issue and our illustrious so called leaders. No agreements, no vision, and no solutions.....where does this leave, We the People?

Your source: "within the margin of error"
You: "Illegal immigration is on the rise"
Your source and you aren't saying the same thing.

:doh
You were saying what again? :roll:
As your graph shows, you can't say its on the rise as in its currently rising in the present because its in the margin of error. You can say it rose, as in it increased in the past, but you can't say its rising as in its increasing in the present if we use your source.
We the people are left screwed!!
Between the push for amnesty & obamacare we as a country
are basically screwed!
Raises aren't available now & with the dreamers etc that Obama has
legalized sorta we're gonna keep going down.
By the way good morning MMC!:2wave:
I dont have an issue with your source its just that the statistics say one thing and you said another, that's all.
Anyway I agree with you we need to address the immigration issue, which our government hasn't really done at all.

Mornin' Penn. :2wave: Wonder if they will continue to increase once all Job Industries going to that Part time job model. Getting rid of all those benefits.
This is what I don't understand.Part time jobs,no bennies & we want more illegals?
I saw on USA TODAYs cover that illegals were coming back & almost ruined my day.
Course then I saw on DRUDGE that McConnell & Cornyn are screwing Cruz & the House
and that finished me off!!:2mad:

I'm a good source.
Hold on I'll be right back.
I'm back, just looked out my window and I see new illegal aliens mowing lawns.
Just to confirm my observations, hold on I'll be right back.
I'm back from the Home Depot. My suspicions are confirmed. All kinds of new illegal aliens hanging out in front of the Home Depot.
There's defiantly has been an increase in illegal aliens crossing the border.
God I'm being trolled by an old man.
A grumpy old man who has been there and done that and has been around enough to be able to have something to compare things with.
Being old doesn't mean you're smart or wise.
I have a degree from the University of Hard Knocks.
You can't earn one of them if you got a monkey on your back and have become dependent on government.
I've met dumb old folks, like yourself, and smart old folks. And I've met smart young guys and dumb young guys.
Age doesn't mean anything.
But it does, have you ever lived on the Rez ? Being a "tribal elder" puts you on the top of the totem pole.
Age gains you respect with in the criminal society on the streets.
FNG's listen to "old salts."
It's well known that those below 45 probably had little or no experience with quality. So they have no knowledge of what quality is.
If todays Wal-Marts, K-Marts, Target stores were to being selling the same garbage that's found on their shelfs today back during the 60's the stores would be empty because Americans only excepted quality.
If Obama were have to been elected POTUS back in 64 or 68, he would be living in exile today. America had higher standards back then.
I don't think you want to start talking about what it would have been like for a black man in politics the 60s, let alone saying it was a "higher standard." I always wonder if those who like to talk about the 50s and 60s as a "Golden Age" of America also remember that it was segregated and racist society as well in many parts of the country.
You still have a chip on your shoulder ?

If we really cared about the Mexicans, we would simply take over Mexico.
