    Illegal-Immigrant Population Dropping

    Illegal-Immigrant Population Dropping

    Last update: 12:33 p.m. EDT July 25, 2008
    WASHINGTON, July 25, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ --

    New Report Finds Significant Decline Since Last Summer

    A new analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of monthly data collected by the Census Bureau shows that the illegal immigrant population has declined significantly between last summer and May of this year. The study is the first to find quantitative evidence that illegal immigrants are leaving the country. It also examines the extent to which stepped-up enforcement and the downturn in the economy account for this trend.

    The report, entitled, "Homeward Bound: Recent Immigration Enforcement and the Decline in the Illegal Alien Population" is embargoed until Wednesday, July 30th at 2:30 pm. Advance copies are available to the media. The study will be available online at http://www.cis.org.

    The Center will formally release the report at a press conference on Wednesday, July 30th at 2:30 pm in room 1309 of the Longworth House Office Building. The report's lead author, Dr. Steven Camarota will be joined by Representatives John Barrow (D-GA), Lamar Smith (R-TX), Tom Feeney (R-FL) and Heath Shuler (D-NC) to discuss the implications of the study.

    For more information, contact Steven Camarota at (202) 466-8185 or sac@cis.org

    The Center for Immigration Studies is an independent research institute which examines the impact of immigration on the United States.

    Illegal-Immigrant

    I would like to see hard evidence of this. Have seen more evidence of increases here in Texico.
    Of course, if you count the increase in deportations, and the poor economy, the increase may have slowed in other states.

    If the Border Patrol can not tell for sure how many get in, how can they tell how many have left?

    Can you say A-T-T-R-I-T-I-O-N!!!

    And people think it won't work ... jerks.

    It's worth the down-turn in this country, if it wakes up the sleeping Americans. If it takes money out of their pockets, they will listen. We need more fines for business. It's their fault we are in this mess. Make them pay illegals regular wages, insure the illegals and put them on W/C!!!
    Oh, then they won't want them.

    If Israel puts down their guns there will be no more Israel.

    I'd like to see some more evidence too. When they say "significant decline" I'd like to see percentages.

    I spoke to an American citizen yesterday who lives part time in Mexico, she said the word in mexico is if you can get into California, they are legalizing as many mexicans as they can push through.

    Someone please tell me how this is done......I have believed this has been going on all along all across our country and right under our nose. I think they have been legalizing people who have no criminal record but come here illegally because they are processing them as quick as possible, as I have said before, i don't trust them at all!

    The illegal aliens who are in a state that turns unfriendly can go home or to a friendly state. Texas has a reputation as a friendly state. In probability the drop has not occured in Texas as illegal from other states like Oklahoma move in more than the Texas illegal residents move out of the country.
    I support enforcement and see its lack as bad for the 3rd World as well. Remittances are now mostly spent on consumption not production assets. Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

    I dont think they are leaving. IMO people are breaking the laws to provide them with citizenship. Give illegals some false papers and they will declare citizenship. Whatever. There is some kind of monkey business going on. I dont think illegal immigration is decreasing.

    I don't believe this for a minute:

    -----------------I.C.E. DEPORTATIONS----------------
    ---2002-----2003------2004------2005------2006------2007------2008(ends 9/30)
    116,154--145,935--162,014--151,579--185,431--276,912--

    -------------I.C.E. WORKPLACE ARRESTS-------------
    2002-----2003-----2004-------2005------2006-------2007------2008(ends 9/30)
    -510------517-------845--------1296------4383-------4940------4437


    Southwest Border Patrol Apprehensions
    Fiscal Year-------------2005---------2006---------2007-------2008 (ends 9/30)
    Apprehensions----1,189,108--1,071,972-----858,638----578,774

    From interviews with illegals, it has been said that 90% of illegals make it across the border on the first try. That statistic may have changed with the stepped up enforcement and added fencing, but there are still many more illegals coming into our country than are being deported. Until they start backing up at the border, waiting to cross back into Mexico, I won't believe it.

    Businesses would like to have us believe the number of illegals is declining, so we let up on the pressure.

    This is the time we need to greatly increase the prssure on businesses and illegals; don't allow them to lull us into a sense of well being, as despite what they say, everything isn't OK!!

    KEEP CRANKING IT UP!!

    When no one, American has been displaced by an illegal criminal alien then our job is done with "WELL DONE.'
