Capitol Hill Blue Forums Life and Moral Issues Crime & Punishment Illegal Immigration and Appropriate Penalties

In another thread, someone asked how one could tell if a person was "illegal" - I stated language barrier. I've been shown to be correct:



82% of illegal immigrants in the U.S. for less than 6 mos can not speak English.

It's good to know that the longer an illegal alien stays, the more English they begin to speak. That tells me they are willing to assimilate into American society - which I find is a good thing.

Also interesting to note that "most" (59%) illegal aliens coming to the U.S. in the previous six months have less than a high school education.
