WASHINGTON — For the first time in a decade, the makeup of the U.S. immigrant population may be shifting, with the number of illegal immigrants entering the country falling behind the number of those entering legally, according to an independent report released Thursday.

The swing, a possible result of the economic slump and a federal immigration crackdown, marks a reversal of a pattern begun in the 1990s, when the number of newly arrived illegal immigrants surpassed those arriving lawfully, according to the study by the Pew Hispanic Center, a Washington think tank.

"This is a population that had been growing rapidly and substantially for at least 15 years, and the growth has essentially come to a halt in 2008," said Jeffrey S. Passel, a senior demographer at the center who co-wrote the report.

Other recent studies have pointed to possible declines in the number of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. But the Pew study is among the first to show a decrease in the number of illegal immigrants coming into the country.

What will Lou-lou do without his wedge issue?

1. I was at the laudromat the other night...

And he was on the TV. Christ, he has turned into a parody of himself and O'Reilly, only with more sneer and hate in every mouthful.

He used to be a good financial reporter. To see hime come to the smarmy end is...well, whatever he gets or doesn't get when the pendulum swings the other way, he deserves. He is truly loathesome.

2. I remember he used to talk about business until he got bit by the "alien bug".

I guess now, he believes his own hype.

4. he has completely turned into a loon. n/t

3. you mean to tell us that not everyone jumped up to change the channel? n/t

[silverojo]

5. "A report by the Pew Hispanic Center"

An unbiased source if ever there was one. :sarcasm:

Lou Dobbs may be an asshole, but these people are bigger assholes.

6. juicy details?

8. You know what. Excellent.

They did a study, they made a claim.

Let's see the methodology! Let's see their numbers, etc.

I bet Lou Dobbs would never do the same.

[Raine]

7. He used to at least cover other stories

he was one of the few that kept pursuing the tainted pet food and a few other things. The MSM dropped the stories when they lost interest themselves and he was about the only one that still sought answers but now he is nothing but a racist hate filled nut.

9. How ironic that when the economy is better, there are more illegal

immigrants.

Bad economies don't get immigrants. Therefore the bad economy must make Lou Dobbs happy.

10. And by extension: Lou Dobbs hates America! n/t
