"Illegal Immigrants Not Drawn By Jobs"

Interesting footnote to our discussion on illegal immigration in today's WashPost--a new study by the Pew Hispanic Research Center shows that unemployment is not the overwhelming motivator for persons leaving Mexico and entering this country without documentation.

"There's one very clear finding and that's that unemployment per se is not a very large factor in determining whether people migrate or not... This is not a flow of people without jobs. Unemployment is not pushing people out. . . . "
