Immigration - Some Numbers
These numbers translate to our tax money; so it should be a big deal to us...
Alan Caruba writes for Family Security Matters:
"Here’s one of those statistics that sums up everything you need to know about America’s immigration crisis. The May 14 edition of US News & World Report had a small item noting that, 'Mexico has lost more people to migration to the United States than to death since 2000.'
'An average of 577,000 people moved to the United States annually during the 2000-2005 period, while 495,000 people died in Mexico.' The U.S. agency providing this data estimates that about 11 million Mexicans are living, legally or not, in the United States.
This is not about disliking Mexicans. Many have come here legally, become citizens, and have risen in our society to contribute in business, academics, and government. This is about saving America from a wholesale and entirely illegal invasion, and its consequences."
