December 01, 2009 Reapportionment Looms As Census Gears Up Congressional Quarterly Politics blog has a post about the possible direction reapportionment will take given what they project as the likely outcome of the 2010 Census. "The seat shifts next year will continue those [demographic] trends. Under any scenario envisioned by EDS, Texas will be the biggest winner, with four more House seats -- a consequence of the state's burgeoning Hispanic population; the government estimates that 63 percent of the 3.4 million new residents in the state this decade are Latino. Hispanic population growth is the reason the only other state in line for more than one new House seat is Arizona; if its delegation grows to 10, from the current eight, that will be a doubling just since the 1980s."

New from FAIR: The Costs of Illegal Immigration to Marylanders In 2008, the foreign-born population in Maryland represented nearly one in every eight residents (12.4%), and illegal aliens constituted more than one-third of that immigrant population. This illegal immigrant population costs the state's taxpayers more than $1.4 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. The annual fiscal burden amounts to about $790 per Maryland household headed by a native-born resident. Click here to download this new cost study from FAIR's research department.
