The Hispanic illegal immigrant population has significantly declined in the previous year because of stepped-up enforcement efforts and, secondarily, a slower economy, says a report released Wednesday by the Center for Immigration Studies.
CIS, which favors reduced immigration levels, used Census Bureau data to report that the population of young, uneducated Hispanic illegal immigrants might have decreased by 11 percent from its peak in August 2007 to May 2008.
