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?
I would imagine the decline in illegal immigration to "California, Illinois and New York" is the result of the current Administration's and its Justice Department's policy of taking legal action against any state that attempts to deport its illegal immigrants_
These criminal border crashers are no longer forced to seek asylum in the IA friendly states that welcome rather than deport them__They now openly flaunt their illegal status by moving freely around the country and taking US jobs and demanding our services_
Obama and the Democrat Party love these illegal aliens because they know that immigration reform and amnesty will franchise millions of new democrat voters which will transform the US into a one party system, ending all political opposition to the Progressive agenda_
And that is a Cold Hard Fact Of Reality boys and girls!
