Nearly 10% of the nation’s 11.1 million immigrants who are in the country illegally reside in Los Angeles and Orange counties, according to an analysis released Thursday by the Pew Research Center.

The region is home to 1 million such immigrants, second only to the greater New York area, which has 1.2 million. Third on the list was Houston with 575,000. The city of Los Angeles alone has an estimated 375,000.

The data offer a stark sense of the stakes for Southern California and the rest of the nation as President Trump embarks on a crackdown on illegal immigration.

Up to 8 million people in the country illegally could be considered priorities for deportation, according to calculations by the Los Angeles Times. They were based on interviews with experts who studied the order and two internal documents that signal immigration officials are taking an expansive view of Trump’s directive.

Trump has said repeatedly that his new order allows immigration agents to detain nearly anyone they come in contact with who has crossed the border illegally. People could be taken into custody for using food stamps or if their child receives free school lunches.

The Pew analysis, using augmented 2014 data collected by the American Community Survey, which is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, focused on the 20 major metropolitan areas with the highest numbers of immigrants here illegally. It showed that the population tends to live among legal immigrants and is highly concentrated.

In 2014, 61% of immigrants here illegally lived in the 20 metropolitan areas, whereas only 36% of the total U.S. population lived in the same regions. All except one of the areas remained in the top 20 over the previous decade.

Between 300 and 400% according to Trump.

Same amount of spending spent on fewer people? Very good!

FAKE ALTERNATIVE NEWS!
g.w.bush & republicans stopped all immigration & sent home
all illegals & never allowed another to enter the U.S.

How many of the 90% are in Red States?
Why do Republicans allow RAPIST & MURDERERS to reside next to
their citizens?
FAILURES! THAT'S WHY!

Many Republicans need jobs picking crops.
President 45 will Make Great Field Hand Jobs!

Why in the world would you think there would be the same amount of spending?

Gee, because most Illegals are renters, but the landlord will still be paying property tax.

He'll also be forced to lower his rents when the population drops by a million and vacancies go up.

More affordable housing! Isn't that great?

How about sales tax?

Actually there was an investigation in #14. Found nothing. Same as is always found.

As someone who lives there, that seems like a low number. I'm the lone white guy in many many large stores and restaurants in the LA area. It's a fucking guarantee that I'll be the super minority if I go to a Walmart or Food for Less.

I have nothing against Latinos in general. Family oriented mostly Christian people with generally decent work ethic... what's not to like? Every culture has its idiosyncrasies, so I won't nitpick. Mostly it's the Muslims that concern me.

unauthorized? What mealy-mouthed circumlocution.

They are illegal. They broke the law by crossing the border illegally. We should tell the truth about it.

We want their votes but only as long as they stay on their side of tracks...We will even give them welfare as long as they stay where they belong

But I guess you are claiming that there was no chance that illegals voted, particularly in California?

Why don't you and ironbrain actually show how many illegals actually voted particularly in california? Sure right.

In WA state, all you need to vote is a drivers license. It is radioactive to launch any investigation into voting by illegals. We are out of compliance with Homeland Security, and when the Republican secretary of state candidate ran on a platform of getting the state into compliance, she was accused of trying to restrict voting rights by her fat lesbian Democrat candidate.

I love it when Lefties make this argument - they're essentially saying people are overpaying taxes by a huge degree.

So, you think the sales tax alone takes care of infrastructure and services from hospitals to schools to roads, fire, police, etc. for ~1M people?

Why do Americans pay a property tax and Fed + State income tax then?

If the sales tax takes care of the basics, what do all the other taxes go to? Why do we have state, city, and national debts?
