From the L. A. Times on Illegals...

From the L. A. Times

1. 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card.
2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.
4. Over 2/3 of all births in Los Angeles County are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal , whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
5. Nearly 35% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally
6. Over 300,000 illegal aliens in Los Angeles County are living in garages.
7. The FBI reports half of all gang members in Los Angeles are most likely illegal aliens from south of the border.
8 Nearly 60% of all occupants of HUD properties are illegal.
9. 21 radio stations in L. A. are Spanish speaking.
10. In L. A. County 5.1 million people speak English, 3.9 million speak Spanish.
(There are 10.2 million people in L. A. County . )

(All 10 of the above are from the Los Angeles Times)
Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. Over 70% of the United States ' annual population growth (and over 90% of California , Florida , and New York ) results from immigration. 29% of inmates in federal prisons are illegal aliens.

I think we should let Mexico annex California and we can get away w/o having to bail them out as well. Excellent cost saving move, think I'll recommend it to the "O"man when he calls to discuss things with me.

That's an old one. No way the L.A. Times would print a report like that.

Walter Moore calls himself a "non-scary Republican," which sounds like a necessary caveat in this mostly Democratic town.
You guys can Kwame Kilpatrick when he gets out of jail, he did a bang up job in Detroit - NOT.

Did anyone run a Snopes on those LA stats?

Looks like half truths and lies, still good entertainment though.

They wouldn't print that - even if it were 100% true.

Who knows what The Times will print these days. They aren't even The Times; they're the Chicago Tribune West Coast edition, so who knows what sort of culture pervades LA Times' editorial department.

As for whether or not those stats are 100% true, who's to say. A workmate stated she wants to move to Orange County to escape the "illegals." Well, they're in the O.C. too.

San Diego is probably the nicest place to live south of Santa Barbara. At least San Diego doesn't have Santa Barbara's smugness.

There are a very large # of people working illegally off the books in L.A. county but no way it's 40% of the working population. For starters, how would they accurately extrapolate that #? 15-20% I might believe, still a HUGE number.

Take a drive through East LA man.....every house has a garage behind it that is a rental. And Yep those stats are probably abot right. There is a hugh under ground economy...

Illegals have been sucking dry the system for decades in CA....say hello to 10.5% sales tax in the County.

Only problem is that it is CA with all the attendant stuff.

Living in So Cal, I would say the illegal population has decreased substantially due to the economy.
