"This sharp decline has contributed to an overall reduction of 8% in the number of unauthorized immigrants currently living in the U.S. -- to 11.1 million in March 2009 from a peak of 12 million in March 2007, according to the estimates."

"Even though illegal immigration is reversing and declining, the population was still 32 percent larger in 2009 than in 2000, when it numbered 8.4 million, according to the study. The number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. has tripled since 1990, when it was just 3.5 million."

"The unemployment rate for unauthorized immigrants of all ages in March 2009 was higher than that of U.S.-born workers or legal immigrants -- 10.4%, 9.2% and 9.1%, respectively."

Now if the remaining 11.1 million illegals would go home, the U.S. wouldn't have such a serious unemployment problem now would we?
