Yes you said that, but you also that the graph was about legal immigration. You can't keep your story straight
You're right, in that post I did. I was confused due to something that Summerwind posted. I'm sure that you will realize that I had initially assumed that it was about illegal immigration in my first response to you about that graph.
You are lying. Redress did not say anything about where the undocumented immigrants are. Not one word.
No, I did. My argument to Redress was about it in response to what he said. IE: it was an evolving conversation. One which you obviously did not wait to finish or progress being butting in.
And most of them are not in the southwestern states.
Lets find out shall we? The population of California is roughly 37.2 million. Going by your graph 7.3% of that total is made up of illegal aliens. Which equals out to roughly 2,715,600. In Texas the total population is 26.4 million. According to your graph illegal aliens make up 5.96% of that population. Which equals out to roughly 1,573,440. Add those two up and you get 4,289,040. Now lets add in Nevada, total population of 2.7 million. According to your graph illegal aliens make up 8.85% of the total population. Which totals out to roughly 238,950. Total so far is 4,527,990. Next up, Arizona. Population: 6.5 million roughly. According to your graph, illegals make up 7.69% of the total population of AZ. Which is roughly 499,850. Grand total so far: 5,027,840. Utah: 2.9 million. Your Graph: 4.02%. Total: 116,580. Grand Total: 5,144,420. New Mexico: Roughly 2.1 million. Your Graph: 4.03%. Total: 84,630. Grand Total: 5,229,050. Colorado: 5.3 mil. Your Graph: 4.86. Total: 257,580. Grand Total: 5,402,000.
Alright, I'll amend my previous statement. How about the word "a lot" of illegal immigrants are centered in the south western states? It might not be most, but it sure as hell is a good chunk of them. Particularly when you consider that the southwestern states only make up a quarter of the US.
