There is a legal immigration system, too, and surprisingly Hispanics are not the largest number!!! Here's and excerpt from an article by Scott Simon of NPR;

New Asian Immigrants To US Now Surpass Hispanics
WASHINGTON June 19, 2012, 01:41 pm ET
WASHINGTON (AP) — For the first time, the influx of Asians moving to the U.S. has surpassed that of Hispanics, reflecting a slowdown in illegal immigration while American employers increase their demand for high-skilled workers.

An expansive study by the Pew Research Center details what it describes as "the rise of Asian-Americans," a highly diverse and fast-growing group making up roughly 5 percent of the U.S. population. Mostly foreign-born and naturalized citizens, their numbers have been boosted by increases in visas granted to specialized workers and to wealthy investors as the U.S. economy becomes driven less by manufacturing and more by technology.

"Too often the policy debates on immigration fixate on just one part — illegal immigration," said Karthick Ramakrishnan, a political science professor at the University of California-Riverside and a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. "U.S. immigration is more diverse and broader than that, with policy that needs to focus also on high-skilled workers."

"With net migration from Mexico now at zero, the role of Asian-Americans has become more important," he said.

About 430,000 Asians, or 36 percent of all new immigrants, arrived in the U.S. in 2010, according to the latest census data. That's compared to about 370,000, or 31 percent, who were Hispanic.

Would almost appear to me that we are still exporting manufacturing jobs, and importing Asian workers to take technology jobs??? No wonder the unemployment numbers are so bleak!!!! These are LEGAL immigration numbers. Who is hiring all these new immigrants and making the prospect of immigrating to this country so appealing? Is our education system so poor that we don't have qualified people to take these technology jobs and business would rather higher new immigrants???

So, if I have this right, legal Asian immigrants are taking technology jobs, and illegal Hispanics are taking the manual labor jobs that American workers won't do---do the unemployment numbers actually show any sort of real number or what????
