    Good article. I have a feeling that undocumented immigrants will be reluctant to cooperate in the development of a state database. I wouldn’t blame them.

    1. Exactly DHS!! — registering is the first step to government action against them… what a minute….I’ve heard that same argument elsewhere.

  2. By law we owe illegals services.

    I’m not sure I would have used that wording. Maybe: “By law we are required to provide services to illegal aliens”.

    I understand the reasons why these requirements are in place, and I am not complaining about [most of] them, but I most definitely do not think I owe anything to someone who enters this country illegally.

    Words like “owe” encourage attitudes of entitlement.

      Under federal law, they are entitlements, and the illegals knew that before they left their native countries. The numbers are also staggering from some of the native countriesโ€™ perspectives.

      Ecuador has 18 million people. One hundred thousand of our recent illegal border crossers detained and released by the border patrol have been from Ecuador.

      It would be the equivalent of 2 million American citizens walking out of the United States with what they could carry.

    1. Oh yeah? Two can play that game…

      Claptrap. Tosh. Malarkey. Piffle. Balderdash. Folderol. Bosh. Hooey. Drivel. Hogwash. Bunkum. Hokum.
      Bilgewater, Tommyrot. Rigamarole. Blatherskite.

  4. One way to guesstimate the change in the number of illegal immigrants in Virginia is to track the number of enrolled students who are (a) English learners, and (b) disadvantaged. It’s not perfect, but it’s a good order-of-magnitude proxy.

    Here are the numbers for Virginia, based on VDOE data:

    I was surprised by how stable the numbers have been over the past 10 years — until the pre-COVID years of 2017/18 and 2018/19, which showed a big jump before returning to normal last year.

      Or, just count the number of buses in the Greg Abbott Express…

        Do you blame him? Texas is being buried with this problem and have no way to deal with it. I read an article that DC mayor Bowser was complaining about several thousand Migrants being sent to DC (see one below). That is a drop in the bucket compared to how many are crossing over. This will not end well. There is no “Federal Resources” to help with the cost, only more Federal debt.

      2. But he’s only sending them to ‘sanctuary cities’ — what’s the problem? those govt leaders want them.

      I tried to find the chart but couldn’t, since the State and school year operates on a June 30 fiscal year, I wonder if the chart is through June 30… Given that the borders just opened up in early 2021, and it takes a while for people to move to another state (just ask the cities who are now just realizing how serious this policy is going to affect them) this chart may not reflect the influx of Migrants.

      As you indicate, it is interesting as a statistical artifact, but of course does not help with services planning. We can assume that these kids were each surprises to the schools in which they enrolled. And the kids and adults to the hospitals into whose emergency rooms they arrived.

    Always interesting how they home owner has to share his house with the thief according to all the compassionate people.

    Do other countries with illegally present people do services for them? Why should I pay for their education, etc. when I am losing out on services?

    1. China provides free housing, education, and job training to its ‘illegal/illegitimate’ people of color…..and King Lebron loves it!
