How do you know that MD has more illegal immigrants than VA? |
|
PP just looks at the number of Hispanics in schools and assume they are all illegal. Last count, VA had more than MD. http://www.pewhispanic.org/interactives/unauthorized-immigrants/ |
Last 'count' was in 2014. There has been a sizable shift since then. |
Yes, let’s see data. |
Until another Pew like report comes out there won't be hard facts. We can make a reasonable judgement on this by looking at the ways MD has made their state more illegal immigrant friendly as opposed to VA. In MD, illegal immigrants can get a drivers license and get college tuition benefits- two huge life changing factors. Not in VA. VA, while Blue up here, is still governed by Richmond and the lawmakers especially in this Trump era are not going to give up the rhetoric of guns and 'Merica. This includes remaining unfriendly towards illegal immigration. Now if you were living in this area and were an illegal immigrant, which would you choose? |
