Rep. Sylvester Reyes (D-Tex.)

(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Silvestre Reyes (D-Tx.), a former border patrol chief who represents the largest community along the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas, told CNSNews.com that the DREAM Act is necessary but “it’s got to be part of a comprehensive immigration reform package.â€

They don't mention that the maimum age for Amnesty for these "children" is 35 years old. So the DREAM ACT with this age limit become a massive AMNESTY for the majority of the illegals, this picks up the ones that aren't anchor babies far more than 2 million.

( edited - 39 was a typo, the maximum age is 35)

If you think the Health Care Bill was expensive - wait until they give it to an additional 30 million people. The Plan - oppass the Health Care Bill - burden it with all of the uninsured( illegals).

Further. the PEW Hispanic Center estimates in gave the number of children born in the US with one illegal parent at at 4 million. see second article. Again as in 1986, the numbers are underestimated intentionally.

Most of the illegals in this country are male between the ages of 18 and 35. Do the math.

Where are immigrants coming from?

Immigrants come to the United States from many different continents and regions including Asia, Mexico, South America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern and Western Europe, Oceania, Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Canada. Many immigrants coming to America hope to obtain permanent residency or a Green Card and eventually achieve United States citizenship. Some immigrants initially enter the country legally with a visa but then violate the terms of the visa by overstaying the number of days authorized. Others enter illegally by resorting to the assistance of human smugglers. It is estimated that currently 11 to 12 million illegal immigrants reside in the United States. Of this figure, slightly more than half, or 7 million, come from Mexico; 3 million are from Latin and Central America; and approximately one million of illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States are from Asia. Most of the undocumented immigrants in the U.S. are between the ages of 18 and 39. The majority of illegal immigrants are male. Illegal immigrants under age 18 and over age 40 represent a minority category and comprise less than 20% of the total illegal immigrant population in the United States.

Mexicans make up the largest percentage of illegal immigrants in the United States. This may be no surprise due to the close proximity of the countries and the different standards of living offered. Many immigrants, including those from Mexico, emigrate to the United States in search of better financial opportunities. Some undocumented immigrants successfully cross the border into the U.S. and stay permanently, while a small percentage return back home. Hispanics comprise a large minority group in the United States. This demographic is also on the rise. States that have large Hispanic communities include: California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, Nevada, New York and Illinois. Other states such as Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Arkansas and North Carolina have started to undergo a Hispanic population boom in recent years. One of the reasons Hispanics (which include those legally and illegally in the U.S.) are now beginning to reside in more rural areas with less established Hispanic communities is because of a lower cost of living, especially in regards to housing. A lower living cost makes it easier to achieve the "American dream." Immigrants are also beginning to reside in more rural areas that have been historically unpopular with immigrants is to avoid crowded, congested cities such as Los Angeles.

Immigrants to the United States also commonly come from countries such as: Honduras, Brazil, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Cuba, China, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and Costa Rica. Many Spanish-speaking illegal immigrants make their way into the U.S. through Mexico. Some illegal immigrants may already have family in the U.S. which makes the transition easier. A significant number of permanent residents and U.S. citizens can relate to the struggles of immigrants, since many Americans only recently immigrated to the country. To make the transition easier, immigrants tend to move into regions where others of their cultural background already reside. Residing in these communities may make immigrants feel more at home and help them to preserve their culture. Because the United States is comprised of individuals from many different cultures, it is easy for immigrants to find others that speak their own language, and even be able to find their favorite foods from home at many of the ethnic food stores. States that tend to attract a high proportion of immigrant populations include: Florida, Texas, New Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Minnesota, New Mexico, Mississippi, California, Georgia, Maryland, Washington, Virginia, Tennessee and Nevada. No matter where an immigrant lives in the United States, they generally all came to the United States and took great risks for the same reason--- to improve their quality of life.

Study: 4 million 'illegal' immigrant children are native-born citizens


April 14, 2009|By Wayne Drash CNN

Her mother was deported to Mexico for being in the country illegally.Julie Quiroz, a 14-year-old U.S. citizen, has been separated from her mother for nearly two years. Her mom was deported to Mexico for being in the United States illegally.

At the age of 12, Julie was forced to decide between her country and her family. With the help of a Christian philanthropist, she chose to stay in the United States.

"It's really, really hard to leave your family," she told CNN by phone.

A study issued Tuesday provides one of the most comprehensive looks at "citizen children" like Julie who are caught in the cross hairs of the nation's illegal immigration battle.

Nearly 4 million children who have at least one parent who entered the U.S. illegally were born in the United States and are U.S. citizens as a result, according to the study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center.

That's about three quarters of the estimated 5.5 million children of illegal immigrants inside the United States, according to the study. About 1.8 million children of undocumented immigrants live in poverty, the study found.

"Among children whose parents are unauthorized immigrants, one in three is poor. The [poverty] rate of children of unauthorized immigrants is similar whether the children are unauthorized immigrants or U.S. born," the study says.

Roughly 12 million illegal immigrants are in the United States -- about 4 percent of the nation's population. The study found that the majority of illegal immigrants, about 7 million, come from Mexico.

Shuya Ohno with the Washington-based advocacy organization National Immigration Forum said the study underscores how the nation's immigration situation is "not so simple."

"This really highlights the fact that so many undocumented families are of mixed status -- that there is a U.S. citizen in the direct family," he said.

Undocumented immigrants make up more than 5 percent of the U.S. work force, according to the study, based on March 2008 figures from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The children of illegal immigrants make up an even greater share of students in America's primary and secondary schools, with nearly 7 percent enrolled in kindergarten through 12th grade. That figure has jumped, from 5.4 percent in 2003.

In states near Mexico's border -- Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada and Texas -- about 10 percent of the student population are the children of illegal immigrants.

The study also found that these children are more likely to live in a two-parent home, compared with the rest of the nation.

ACTION NEEDED HERE

Pandering. Dream Act = amnesty for millions and millions and millions. Call and email lawmakers to let them know that you know the facts. Thirty years old is no young child, and education is available around the world, not just within the United States. American citizens do it every year. The illegal aliens can look for an open door in other nations, even their own, with the help of their families and the organizations that they align themselves. Whether their language is English, Spanish, Chinese, etc., there is a nation to find universities and other forms of education.

Psalm 34:18, it is written, The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

I would like to kick the Hispanic Caucas to the curb. Their true colors are showing. I never did believe their back of the line baloney. They want in the front of the line not only to become U.S. citizens but in front of American citizens to get college education. They will qualify for all Financial Aid and ethnic scholarships and compete with American students for whatever seats are available in the fewer and fewer classes offered.

American kids who can't get into college due to this invasion of their colleges will have to turn to blue collar jobs. But wait they won't be able to get these jobs because they are being taken by the illegal immigrants. And if you don't speak Spanish you are really out of luck.

Sounds great to me don't punish these kids for the illegal actions of their parents, instead punish the American kids.

This idiot Reyes is a mexican politician anyway

Who cares what this buffoon thinks.
