    Amazing graphs. Belize had the highest increase of immigrants? Who would have thought? Thanks for the mention!

    Thanks for the mention Kevin. What an interesting graph on immigration, especially with China. I guess people are immigrating to China for the jobs since they are the world factory 🙂

    I live in the border state of NM. I love the rich border history. Several towns got up and moved across the river (back into Mexico) when their towns ‘became’ part of the US. Heard of Laredo, Texas? There’s also a Nuevo (new) Laredo, Mexico!
    We have a flush of legal and illegal immigrants coming into NM from Arizona because of the anti-immigration legislation. The Arizona police can legally ask you to provide a passport to prove your country of origin even though you are a US citizen. Something as simple as a traffic stop they can request this information and you are required to provide it then and there! This is the only state where it is legal for police to request this type of information. My daughter (who is 1/2 Mexican) is worried I will forget her passport when we go into Arizona!

      The anti-immigration laws are absolutely nuts, if you don’t mind my saying so. That reminds me of the situation in East Germany when the Berlin Wall was up, or other such scenarios. Also, what do you think of Operation “Fast and Furious”? http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/07/nation/la-na-atf-guns-20110707

    Will definitely tweet!

    Looking forward to your posts this week!
