Subject: Report: Half of immigrants in Texas are in the country illegally



Report: Half of immigrants in Texas are in the country illegally
By Bob Dart | Thursday, November 29, 2007, 01:11 PM

Half of the nearly 3.5 million immigrants living in Texas are in the country illegally, the Center for Immigration Studies says in a report released Thursday.

Based on the latest Census Bureau data, the report said Texas has one of the fastest-growing immigrant populations of any state. It said that 50 percent of the state’s foreign-born population — slightly more than 1.7 million people — are illegal immigrants. Only Arizona at 65 percent, North Carolina at 58 percent and Georgia at 53 percent had a higher proportion of illegal immigrants in their immigrant populations.

In Florida, about 30 percent of the nearly 3.5 million immigrants living in the state are in the country illegally, according to the report.

The influx of immigrants into Texas reflects the national trend, the report showed. The nation’s immigrant population — legal and illegal — reached a record of 37.9 million in 2007.

The report was written by Seven Camarota, research director for the Center for Immigration Studies, a nonpartisan think tank that advocates reductions in immigration.
