The sweeping executive order Governor Carcieri issued last month reignited a charged debate over illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants are costing Rhode Islanders untold millions, he said, compelling him to take action in the absence of federal immigration reform.
Well, someone needs to take a proper count of all of them so we know exactly how many we need to deport. No more "rough estimates" it's time to get down to brass tacks and get this job done.
In issuing his executive order, Carcieri cited estimates of 40,000. He attributed that figure to the Pew Hispanic Center. (Four days later, on a talk radio show, Carcieri put that figure at 42,000.) But the current figures from the Pew Hispanic Center –– based on 2004 government data, the latest available –– put that estimate at between 20,000 and 35,000. Asked about that disparity, Neal said, “I will concede that point, that the high end is 35,000.”
The governor and his spokesman Neal have no idea what they are talking about. How come he doesn't have any facts or studies to back his claims up?.
Why so I have to deal with corruption all around me? I'd rather help the US in a different way.
