Thread: Most of the 953,000 immigrants living in Georgia....

in the country illegally, according to an analysis for the Center for Immigration Studies released Thursday.

First problem I have with this is there are at least 1 million in the metro Atlanta area. The state has many more. I don't know where they get these numbers.

FINDINGS
The Center for Immigration Studies' analysis found that in Georgia:
• 7 percent of the state's total school-age population — were illegal immigrants or the offspring of illegal immigrants.
• 32.9 percent of immigrant households use at least one welfare program compared to 19.1 percent of native-born households.
• Immigrants and their U.S.-born children under the age of 18 make up 13.3 percent of the state's total population.
• The number of immigrants in the state has more than tripled in a little more than a decade — growing from 268,000 in 1995 to 378,000 in 2000 to 953,000 in 2007. Since 2000, the state's immigration population has increased 58.2 percent.
• 39.7 percent of the state's immigrants and their kids lived in or near poverty, compared to 28.9 percent of the native population and its children.


Basing its findings on U.S. Census Bureau data, the analysis said Georgia has one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations of any state. It calculated that 53 percent of the state's foreign-born population — 504,000 people — are illegal immigrants. Only the estimates for Arizona, at 65 percent, and North Carolina, at 58 percent, were higher.



It is the US Census....so you can triple or quadruple the numbers.

that is disturbing.


I think the numbers are low. They are everywhere. 5 cars out of 10 are filled with hispanics.They do not appear to be leaving either.

I dont care what anybody says but this is ethnic cleansing any way you want to put a spin on it. Time to wave the white flag and head back to Europe.

I am not going anywhere!!! My ancestors fought and died for this country. This is OUR country, and no one is taking it without a HUGE battle.
I WILL

It seems some of Europe are having the same problems, and I'm not sure they want us anyway.

Stand and fight or leave on your own. What say you?

I agree, it is ethnic cleansing..maybe its time for a little profiling..

I am with you Rockfish... I am gonna do like our Friend Tom Petty would do: I won't back down

Well I won't back down

You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down

No I'll stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin me down
gonna stand my ground
... and I won't back down
