This is a killer powerpoint from the Pew research center. The focus is on the issues facing illegal aliens in the United States. The powerpoint looks at the correlation between individuals staying in the USA and economic prosperity. A geographic breakdown of the total % of undocumented individuals in the United States is also quite educating, who would have thought Illinois would have a substantial undocumented population?

Illinois? That one was unexpected, but perhaps Illinois has lots of agriculture which could be why there's such a high percentage there. Then again, my knowledge of Illinois is limited so I can't be sure... California has the highest percentage of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. which didn't come as a surprise but WOW, 21%? That's a lot. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteYea the Illinois thing surprised me too!
