WASHINGTON — Illegal immigration, which has sparked political and social turmoil in communities across the nation, is on the wane, according to an independent report released Thursday.

The number of illegal immigrants entering the United States has slowed significantly the past few years, falling below the number of those entering the country legally, according to the report by the Pew Hispanic Center, a Washington think tank.

The report estimates there were 11.9 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. as of March. That would be a decline of 500,000 from the center's estimate a year ago. However, the change was not statistically significant because of the large margins of error.

well there's the upside, The rats always abandon a sinking ship..

Well if Mac wins then the pubs can drive the rest of the 20 million out of town by completely crippling the economy with trickledown voodoo..

Illegal Immigration and our economys' collapse were bed buddies before now. Rather a significant part of the problem, dontchyou think??

yeah, didnt some dems claim that if we booted out the illegals that our economy would colapse?

But you bet in the states where it's prevalent, there'r some folks in disagreement who, by now, would be up to the task. And when they reach the record low MI has seen no bottom to as yet, just you wait. You think everybody's whining now?

It would. Though as we can see, it isn't the only thing that can make our economy collapse.

I dunno about the rest of you, but I'd rather have a good economy with illegals than a bad one without.
