Actually, Ray, the first thing that Snopes said is that these "statistics" did not appear in the L.A. Times, but came from a number of sources and vary in accuracy.

For instance, number 4. Two-thirds of all births in LA County are to people of "Hispanic" ethnicity, but I'm sure not even the most xenophobic person would say that all the Latino people in L.A. are illegal Mexican immigrants on Medi-Cal.

Ray, see my post below, please.

Here is a link to the Snopes discussion on this.

Here is what is supposed to be a real-time illegal alien statistical count. They also reveal the sources of the stats. I haven't analyzed the site, but it seems very interesting.

I couldn't agree with you more Badfrog. The illegals DO lower the wages for the untrained here in the US. I deal with them (Mexican) daily. They are willing to work 2 or 3 jobs to support families here and in Mexico. They have a very strong "work ethic". I don't believe any of the candidates will do anything at the end of the day. Remember the color of both parties is GREEN!
