And while they can be found in all 50 states, California, Texas, New York and Florida are still the top destinations. Less likely spots such as New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Idaho and Missouri now hold from 25,000 to 45,000 illegal immigrants each.
Maybe they're going to lobby the UN and retrieve some of their old homeland back, like the Israel did in '48?

Originally posted by kmax87Mexico has had its own long road to mediocrity that was not caused by California. In fact, it has the highest income-per-capita of latin america. It's doing something right, just not as much as some Asian countries have been doing for decades or as much as American and European countries have been doing for centuries... saving and investing in modern technologies, production and management methods, institutions, efficiency, growth, markets, etc...
