The Immigration Threat Is Over if you believe the Democrat news outlet, The Washington Post

Hey, we solved the illegal problem before. We
can do it again.  

The Post ran an article, today,  telling us that more folks went back to Mexico than entered this country (legally and illegally) for the first time in nearly four decades. No one in my home would believe this story but for the fact that it is a copy of a PEW Research report.   You can read the Left leaning report for yourself.  It claims that arrests of illegals  (PEW calls them "unauthorized immigrants" proving its Leftist bias)  fell from 1 million in 2005 to 268,000 in 2010.   The PEW report is actually the product of Mexican based research centers sponsored by PEW.  What is not stressed in the report is the fact that the 12 million illegals in this country are still here. And, while the B Obama Administration wants to capitalize on these new numbers,  that fact of the matter is this:  a pathetic jobs market,  decreased inexpensive housing and changing economic trends within Mexico have much more to do with this matter than Obama's convoluted immigration policy.

The political result of this poll gives Barack Hussein an "out" when it comes to his failure to keep his promise of "comprehensive immigration legislation by the end of 2009."  He has no excuse for this failure.  The PEW report changes nothing about the man's willingness to lie during a campaign.  Nor does it change anything about the impact these illegals continue to bear on local economies including state and community colleges --- not to mention national healthcare.  The study, below,  was also released in 2010 (July) :

According to a study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) the annual bill to U.S. taxpayers for illegal immigration is $100 billion and about 75 percent of the total is borne by state and local taxpayers. In Kansas that bill is estimated to be $442 million a year. Source for this report is found here.  

Clearly, refusing community and state education to illegals would eliminate the single most expensive impact on local economies,  in a time when state and community colleges are facing discontinuation because of  lack of financial backing from government sources.  The cost to taxpayers for the education of illegals totals more than 600 billion over ten years with total costs for support of the illegal population at one trillion dollars or more.  

Summary and conclusion:  we still need immigration reform of some sort.  The problem remains and, no doubt,  will increase as our economy recovers.
