so since they don't have "border" towns and all that, how "rampant" for lackof a better word is immigration to HI AK and PR, mostly HI though.

[dgreco]

the amount of undocumented immigrants to HI is amazing, I can't believe they all fiind places to stay.  I wonder how many use it as a stop before heading somewhere else in hope of meritocracy.

According to the Current Population Survey by the US Census as of mid 2006....


Hawaii's foreign-born was estimated to be at 234,685 (around #24 nationally in raw numbers) or 18.3% (4th nationally by percentage).

Alaska's foreign-born was estimated to be at 40,340 or 6.0% of its population.

More to come eventually!

Here are the latest immigrant statistics of different areas represented in this forum.



The two sets of information are of "Legal Permanent Residents" and "Naturalized citizens."

1. Legal permanent residents (LPRs) are foreign nationals who have been granted the right to reside permanently in the United States. LPRs are often referred to simply as "immigrants," but they are also known as "permanent resident aliens" and "green card holders."

2. Naturalized citizens are foreign nationals who have become citizens of the United States after fulfilling requirements established by Congress in the Immigration and Nationality Act.

[Rican427]

Very interesting info,so many Filipinos,Mexicans and Dominicans lol!

[urbanguy]

lol yeah. BTW for immigrants moving to PR the country that sticks out the most for me are those from Jordan. I'm actually kind of surprised and wonder what the connection maybe if any?

[Rican427]

I've got no idea,Puerto Rico is the country with less arabs in ALL Latin America.I've seen maybe 3 arabs in my whole life over here in PR.

[urbanguy]

^I wonder if its because they are probably able to blend in? I'd imagine that there's probably a decent share of Spanish speaking Arabs moving to PR from places like Colombia (and perhaps other South American countries).   I think Colombia has over half a million alone.

[Rican427]

^Maybe...

I know pretty much anyone can blend in PR,the best example is when you go to a school,specially a public school over here,over 95% are puertorican but we're all pretty different.

[urbanguy]

^Yeah especially because Puerto Ricans are racially diverse. You got blondes, brunettes, auburns, blacks, whites, asians, mixed races, etc.
