Illegal Immigration from Mex Into US Near Zero?

sancho - 8-12-2011 at 08:43 AM

Off the San Felipe site News Section, quotes a study
claiming Illegal Immigration near ZERO,( I guess they
did not interview the Popotla Pangueros). Zero, that is quite a
statement, seems to be a ambitious. Also says US
Retirement into Mex is up, that makes sense, certainly
has been a lot of pub on the subject lately, better get
down and get my trailer before these US baby boomers
take over

They are already here .


Immigration Equation

A report by the Public Policy Institute of California reveals that undocumented immigrants make up more than 12 percent of Imperial County's population, giving the county the state's second-highest population percentage. It is estimated that 21,000 of the county's 164,000 are undocumented, with Calexico and Heber having the highest concentrations.

Spent a number of years working in Imperial County... year round... folks have been dealing with that weather for a long while... even before AC...

My relatives used grow alfalfa near Brawley.. in the 1920's yeah, it's a bit warm at times... HUH !!

Liked the early mornings, when ya could smell the fresh cut alfalfa... was great..
