Number of illegal immigrants declines by 1 million
The Open Borders crowd wags its collective finger at us as it assures us the Latinization of America is a done deal. "There's no way you're going to deport 20 million ill- we mean, undocumented immigrants. Give up."
I wonder what they have to say about this:
The number of illegal immigrants in the United States may have dropped by more than 1 million over the last year, according to a report issued Wednesday.
The Center for Immigration Studies in Washington said it estimates that the number of illegal immigrants nationally was 11.2 million in May, down from a peak of 12.5 million in August 2007. ...
Last summer’s numbers, the center said, may have been impacted by publicity about Congressional debate at the time over amnesty for illegal immigrants. The legislation failed to pass.
The research institute said stepped-up law enforcement and the economy played roles in the decline that followed.
Yes, stepped-up law enforcement, largely through local governments taking things into their own hands since the Federal government has openly sided with the illegals. As we've noted before, it's not necessary to deport all the illegals -- instead, stop the handing out of rewards for their illegal behavior, and they'll self-deport:
“If we send the message that you're not going to benefit by remaining in this country illegally, people will get the message and go home,” said Ira Mehlman, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform in Washington, a leading anti-illegal immigration group.
Which is exactly what happened.

I wonder what the history of the first five hundred years of the founding of this nation will look like a thousand years from now.
.
Will there be a perspective that shows how the Spanish Catholic influence was pushed out from the east coast only to reenter from the south western borders in a centuries old dispute between Protestant and Catholic Christianity for control on the country?
.
Is that why we see Catholic priests giving support to the immigrants?
pinky,
About three years ago, the notoriously anti-Southern, anti-Christian "Creative Loafing" published a long article on a Spanish settlement in the western part of North Carolina which lasted maybe a dozen years.
No matter, concluded the author -- this fort established a claim by "Hispanics" to call North Carolina home. So the illegal immigrants flooding in were simply enjoying what their ancestors had won.
If you figure out the logic behind that -- and rationalize how the heritage of Third Worlders is authentic, while ours is not -- please explain it to me.

Tugwell pleads, "Please explain it to me."
.
Oh, no, you don't.
.
You have to explain it to me.
.
Other than that, time will tell.
