Just doing some quick math, that means there's approximately 31 states with fewer illegals in the population.

Hm...

I believe that's a blanket statement that was made in errror bob.

That one sounds interesting......particularly in view of the official stats that put the state at around a quarter the average hispanic population. What measure do you use to obtain these figures? Aren't illegals, by definitition, notoriously difficult to put an accurate figure on?

We all make blanket statements. Some of us don't mind when asked to back them up with facts, others get crabby. I'll go back and do some research on the ethnic mix state by state, but of course, even that data gets skewed on some sites for political purposes.
