Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- November 29
Tucker: Thirty-eight million people living in the country
are immigrants. That's one out of every eight Americans. Not
since the days of Ellis Island have immigrants represented so
much of our population, but not all immigrants are here legally.
One-third of them are here unlawfully
and since 2000, more than half of those entering the United States
have been illegal aliens. The Center for Immigration Studies
analyzed data collected by the Census Bureau in March of this
year. The analysis is revealing and raises some tough questions.
Steve Camarota (CIS):
When we looked at rates of poverty, health insurance coverage
and welfare use, it reminds us that when people say all that
matters is a willing worker and a willing employer. That's not
all that matters. There are many other things.
Tucker: Such as the impact on
poverty rates, social services, health care and schools.
Unidentified Male: One of the
things that has been going on in a lot of schools is a lot of
overcrowding. And what we found was that in the last 20 years
immigration accounts for all of the increase in school enrollment
in the United States. |
