The amount of illegals Mexicans Aliens dropped by nearly 1 million!!! Way to go!

Historic wave of Mexican immigration at a standstill, report says - latimes.com
The number of Mexican migrants to the United States dropped significantly while the number of those returning home increased, bringing net migration from Mexico to a statistical standstill, according to a report published Monday.

The shift over the last several years marks a significant change after four decades of historic immigration from Mexico, according to the report by the Pew Hispanic Center.

The downward trend in migration started about five years ago, according to the report.

During that time the number of illegal immigrants from Mexico residing in the U.S. fell sharply from 7 million to about 6.1 million. At the same time, the number of legal Mexican immigrants residing in the U.S. increased slightly from 5.6 million to 5.8 million. Those estimates are based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau.

The report attributes the changes to several factors, including the weakened economy, increased border enforcement, a rise in deportations, growing dangers at the border and a long-term decline in Mexican birth rates.

Labor Secretary Touts Efforts to Protect Migrant Workers
June 11, 2012 – At a time when 12.7 million Americans are unemployed, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis oversaw the signing Monday of agreements with four foreign countries to protect the rights of migrant workers in the U.S.

“We’re here today to strengthen our countries’ shared commitment to protect the labor right of migrant workers in the United States,” Solis said at the signing ceremony at the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C. “Workers from Honduras, the Philippines, Peru and Ecuador are an important part of the American Labor Force. They work in hard-to-fill occupations,” she said. “And they pay taxes, rent and receive few government services. We’re grateful for their contributions to our economy.” The latest data from the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics show that in May 8.2 percent of Americans – or 12,720,000 people – were jobless.

Under the agreements signed Monday, regional enforcement offices of the department’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration and its Wage and Hour Division (WHD) “will cooperate with local consulates of the four countries,” according to a press release distributed at the event. The arrangement will allow the U.S. and the consulates to “reach out to migrant workers with information about U.S. health, safety and wage laws.” The agreements will also “target labor law enforcement efforts,” according to the department.

A fact sheet distributed at the event states that the WHD “is responsible for administering and enforcing laws that establish minimally acceptable standards for wages and working conditions in this country.” “WHD is committed to ensuring that workers in this country are paid properly and for all the hours they work, regardless of immigration status,” it states. Solis has overseen the signing of similar agreements in the past, including those with Nicaragua and Guatemala, and with Mexico. Solis said migrant workers were “working long, hard and often dangerous hours” and were “vulnerable to abuse.” “I’m proud to lead an agency that will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay,” she added.

Peruvian Ambassador Harold Forsyth said that Monday’s signing sent a “message of hope for the future” and also reflected the “concept of Latin America.” “When I speak of Latin America we might also start considering the United States too,” the ambassador continued, adding that there were “probably 50 million or even more people living in the United States with a very strong Latin American culture – you, Madam Secretary, are a clear example of that too.” “It means that the United States to some extent is a Latin American country also,” Forsyth said. “So we have to share the vision for the future,” he added. “And these documents that we have signed, as I said, a step in the right direction.” Solis responded to his remarks by saying that immigration is part of the “American dream.” “Waves and waves of immigrants have come for centuries here and they find a safe haven here in the United States and we’re all very proud of our history,” she said.

I love this line, because it's such a blatant lie!!!
"They work in hard-to-fill occupations,” she said. “And they pay taxes, rent and receive few government services."

Study counters beliefs about illegal immigrants (Only 3 percent work in agriculture)
Passel's report dismantled another widely held assumption: Only 3 percent of the undocumented immigrants work in agriculture. The greatest numbers, 33 percent, work in the service industry.


The rest work in construction, production, installation and repair, sales and administration, transportation and material moving, and management and business.

You know the illegal immigrant apologists favorite line "Who will pick the fruit," yet only 3% workin agriculture!!! 33% work in the service industry, do people really think Americans wouldn't work in this industry?

Best nuggest is 64% work in construction, production, installation and repair, sales and administration, transportation and material moving, and management and business. Americans do and always have worked in these businesses! Again WTF.

Then they pay taxes! Laughable! An attraction to many business owners is they get out of paying payroll taxes on the illegal, so do you really thing they will report the income tax on them!

And they don't use social services WHAT CRAP!!! They utilizes free emergency room services, free education, many get food stamps, many work the system to get welfare and section 8!

It's bullshit!
