Times staff has conducted its own research on these "statistics" and has some interesting data in response. The key one: none of this was "reported" by the L.A. Times. The L.A.

Rational Fri, 05 May 2006 03:04:15 +0000 http://thinkingmeat.net/?p=215#comment-446 I don't see illegal immigration as a serious problem. I rather like illegal immigrants! What they cost the nation in unpaid taxes, they make up for by generating revenue for their employers, and I really don't care if they're getting public services for free considering how dirt poor they are. Helping poor people is never a bad thing. As for security concerns... what, are we gonna build a fence around the entire country? Oh... shit. People actually think that's plausible? Can we build a giant titanium dome over the nation while we're at it? We sure as hell don't want any Mexicans parachuting in! And that list of facts, that's just cute. Did she say "Of the 14 million people in California" in #2, or am I seeing things? If she did, and that's a fact, that means about 20,000,000 people just died in California. I miss the days when facts were facts and not "facts". I don’t see illegal immigration as a serious problem. I rather like illegal immigrants!
