Pretty soon it will be bad in Oregon because we are right next to CA, I am about 20 miles from the border which means that I will have to be extra carefull.......about 2 months ago 4 of them tried to hit a house about 100 yards from my home, three of them took of in a car with the fourth running across my window with the owner of the house chasing him with a rifle, he got away.....I am now glad to have a dog plus all the alarms and lights around my home.

A bipartisan group of senators this week outlined a plan for comprehensive immigration reform, an issue President Obama has asked Congress to tackle in the first half of the year. Since the last major overhaul of U.S. immigration policy, the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 signed by Ronald Reagan, the number of illegal immigrants has risen dramatically. According to the Pew Hispanic Center this week, the number of illegal immigrants peaked in 2007 at about 12 million, just as the Bush administration ramped up enforcement of existing immigration laws. With the Obama administration’s continued enforcement and the economic recession, the estimated illegal immigrants declined to just over 11 million in 2011.
Estimating where exactly illegal immigrants reside in the United States is tricky, but the Pew Hispanic Center did just that in 2011 for each state. Although California has the highest number of illegal immigrants, Nevada has the largest proportion of illegal immigrants—7.2 percent of the state population and as much as 10 percent of its workforce. California and Texas follow at just under 7 percent of their populations, with New Jersey and Arizona rounding out the top five.
Mouse over your state on the map to see the estimated number of illegal immigrants living there and how that number has changed in the past two decades.
