I heard on the radio, that Colorado has the most illegals in
the country. Wonder why that is?

I don't think that is true. California should have more because it is a
border state and has a large economy both in manufacturing and agriculture.
Colorado's economy (as well as population) is a drop in the bucket compared
to California. Colorado does have one of the highest income per capita
counties in the nation, the highest PhD per capita county in the nation, the
most scuba divers per capita, the least obese state in the nation, the
highest per capita of Olympian athletes, national sailing champions, a high
per capita share of Nobel prize winners, a very high gun ownership rate,
very low taxes, low crime, very low pollution, the most sophisticated
rednecks in the country, a sparsity of white trash, concealed carry for all,
drive through liquor stores, fiscally conservative government. It's the kind
of place John Wayne and Barry Goldwater could easily identify with. You
never heard John Wayne say, "Pennsylvania is my kind of place" have you? The
icing on the cake is that people like Bobsprit would never consider moving
here, let alone visit. In fact, he'll never be within 1,000 miles of the
place.

Some people have to die to go to heaven, whereas others simply live to be in
heaven.

Amen!

I would tend to agree. We have a huge need for inexpensive labor, and it's
easy to get here from Mexico. I would think that Texas would have a higher
number as well. I'd like to see the stats.

Here's my take on the matter and I lived in New Mexico for about 20
years.
I think it has to do with the fact that New Mexico is a major illegal
smuggling route but there is no work in New Mexico so the Coyotes
drive on through to Colorado.

PS...A lot of the illegals who come through Texas are bound for
Chicago and points north.
