Insummary, an estimated 12.6 million (click here) LPRs lived in the United States on
January 1, 2008. One-half obtained LPR status in 2000 or later;
one-quarter became LPRs during 2005-2007....
...Mortality.
LPRs were survived to 2008 by age (when LPR status was obtained) and
gender using mortality rates by age and sex from 1989-91 life tables
(National Center for Health Statistics, 1997). The median age of
foreign nationals at the time they become LPRs is about 32 years
(Monger and Rytina, 2009). As a result, mortality has very little
impact on the estimates for recent LPRs but a greater impact for
those who became LPRs during the 1980s...
Now. If people have come to this country illegally and stayed while working with a Social Security card, but, have not achieved a green card, don't ya think they should?
...Immigrants
adjusting to LPR status as refugees, Lautenberg parolees, or through
cancellation of removal also receive credit for residence in the
United States prior to the actual grant of lawful permanent residence
based, respectively, on the date of entry into
the
United States as a refugee, the date of parole, and the date of
cancellation of removal....
Ya see, refugees are allowed to be in the USA to ADJUST to immigrant status. They go through background checks and all that mess and low and behold they become citizens.
SO, WHAT IS THE PROBLEM ALREADY? If the illegals from Mexico, you know the HISPANICS, aren't refugees, then I don't know who is, because all of them are escaping from poverty.
