What a SHOCK, huh, readers?
So why won't they bring impeachment charges against Bush?
Of course, the Globe shortens up and buries this article on page A15.
Doesn't help the economic integration agenda-push, does it, Globe?
"Illegal immigration appears to drop; Report ties decline to enforcement" by Washington Post | July 31, 2008
WASHINGTON - The flow of illegal immigrants into the country appears to have declined over the last year, at least partly due to the effect of stepped-up enforcement, according to a report released yesterday by a Washington think tank that advocates stricter limits on immigration.
The study by the Center for Immigration Studies based its findings on Census data indicating that the number of less-educated, working-aged Hispanic immigrants - defined as 18- to 40-year-olds with a high school diploma or less - has dropped by more than 10 percent, or about 830,000 people since last August.
Previous research suggests that a large share of less-educated foreigners are in the country illegally, and that they make up the bulk of the illegal immigrant population.
Furthermore, while earlier declines in the number of these Hispanic immigrants have been linked to a rise in their unemployment rate, the current drop-off began last year almost immediately after the Congress abandoned legislation to legalize undocumented immigrants and six months before there was any significant rise in their unemployment rate.
During the same period, the number of foreigners who were more educated or non-Hispanic -and therefore far less likely to be illegal immigrants - continued to increase or hold steady.
"The evidence is consistent with the idea that at least initially more robust enforcement caused the number of illegal immigrants to decline significantly," said Steven A. Camarota, one of the study's authors. "Some people seem to think illegals are so permanently anchored in the United States that there is no possibility of them leaving. . . . This suggests they're not correct."
Several demographers who specialize in estimating the illegal immigrant population expressed concern about the limits of the study's methodology, but said they found the possibility that the illegal immigrant population is decreasing to be plausible. Determining the actual decline is a far more controversial matter."The agenda-pushing MSM still has to slant it toward the illegals, don't they?
Always a BUNCH of DOUBTS and CAVEATS if it doesn't PUSH the AGENDA!!!
Of course, if it was IRAQ WMD LIES or IRAN'S NUCLEAR ENERGY PROGRAM, well, you wouldn't be finding a whole lot of qualifiers from the shitty, agenda-pushing AmeriKan MSM!!!!
