The city also failed to provide statistics on the number of illegal immigrants living in Hazleton, he wrote.

Some think this will be good news for the force behind this latest attempt to divide people, Rick Santorum. I still predict, as the legal bills mount, that this nonsense will be dropped sometime after the election and Rick migrates back to Virginia.

ReplyDeleteI have always wondered, how do you get statistics on illegal immigrants, you walk up and say, "hi are you here illegally?"
how do we know there are 13 million illegals in the country. I'm not a statistical expert (I'm guessing nobody here is), but somebody somewhere can get that information.
