The PEW Hispanic Center is just what their name implies....they STINK! Get a load of their semantics trying so hard to be PC while printing THEIR statistics. The NEW BUZZ WORD? (Or as Janet Murgia of La Raza would put it, "CODE WORD") Try this one out on your tongue...."UNAUTHORIZED IMMIGRANTS." If they will go this far to "SOFTEN" the truth about the ILLEGAL ALIEN invasion of the U.S.A. by Me*ico, then it wouldn't be too far fetched to imagine that they would call The Me#ican Drug Cartels, Unauthorized Pharmaceutical Corporations if they thought they could get away with it. The people who author their crap can't be taken seriously if they can't even be honest and professional enough to use the LEGAL term for people living in this country illegally!

The PEWY Hispanic Center needs to be called on the carpet and told to quit using terms to make these usurpers of United States Immigration laws and our laws against fraud in this country to gain social benefits that are only for LEGAL immigrants and citizens appear less benign and detrimental to this country than they really are. I have already sent my email of disgust to the authors of this warm and fuzzy, politically correct piece of garbage they have released. If they are fudging on who and what these people really are, I'm sure their statistics are probably off the mark to intentionally make their findings more palatable to the generally asleep public as not to raise any alarms in the minds of those and others who may read this.

Mexican Immigrants in the United States

The Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center, today released a statistical profile of Mexican immigrants living in the United States. On the eve of President Obama's visit to Mexico, this profile reveals that a record 12.7 million Mexican immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2008, a 17-fold increase since 1970. Mexicans now account for 32% of all U.S. immigrants and more than one-in-ten of all persons born in Mexico now reside in the U.S.

No other country in the world has as many total immigrants from all countries as the United States has immigrants from Mexico alone.

More than half (55%) of Mexican immigrants in the U.S. are unauthorized. Immigrants from Mexico are younger than other immigrants and less likely to be U.S. citizens. Compared with the U.S. born population, Mexican immigrants are more likely to be male, married, and live in larger households. They are less educated, more likely to be unemployed, have lower incomes and higher poverty rates.

The statistical profile is based on data from the March 2008 Current Population Survey.


The profile, Mexican Immigrants in the United States, 2008, is available at the Pew Hispanic Center's website, www.pewhispanic.org.
