Demographers at the University of Virginia say that one in 10 Virginians is foreign-born.
The latest study by U.Va.'s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service notes that new arrivals account for one-fourth of Virginia's population growth since 2000.
In 2006, the top five countries of birth for Virginia's foreign-born were El Salvador, Mexico, Korea, the Philippines and India.
Almost three-fourths of the foreign born in Virginia are between the ages of 25 and 64. The center said that suggests that employment is the attraction.
The Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan region tops the state in terms of foreign born. One of every five residents in that area is foreign born.

Umm . . .
If this was census data, *none* of the illegals would have been counted in it. This would be strictly the ones we have allowed to immigrate. Considering India, Korea, and the Philippines being three of the top five countries, we probably got the real cream of the crop intellectually--folks who can help us advance our technology faster and better than other countries competing with us!

Roughly 70,000............
foreign born men and women are serving as active duty military personnel and are risking their lives abroad because they love the United States enough to die for the freedom they have been privileged to enjoy. Reid......take your narrow-minded views elsewhere if you do not want to be here!
Reid, do you really believe this stuff you say?
They come, and will continue to come as long as America promises the same freedom, equality and opportunity for success that drew most of our ancestors. If you think they come just to jump on the American dole, then you've been watching too much Fox News. You can certainly argue that American immigration policy deserves some attention. But to believe that it's a vast left wing strategy for gaining power places one well out to the edge of the fringe.
By the way, if you do much study of people who have received public assistance--most Americans have, or have a family member who has at one time or another--you'll find that most are more than anxious to get off the public payroll as quickly as possible. It doesn't provide much of a life, and nothing saps self worth more than being dependent. But just as Ronald Reagan created the myth of the "Cadillac-driving welfare mother"--a character that no one,

So, everyone who doesnt belief as you is a traitor....thats a neat concept. Even assuming your backwards rationale has any merit, this country is supposed to be "for the people, by the people". It is not the "Democrats" that are changing the politcal climate, its the chosen form of government of the USA that allows for the change. If you have a problem with foreign born citizens voting opposite of what you do, you have the option of spitting out more children who you can push your beliefs on, and who will vote your way, or move. Until then, traditionally Democratic demographics are the fastest growing and will continue to be so.
So this explains how the DEMS get elected!
Ahhhh, the "multicultural" Trojan Horse that the treasonist Leftist, Socialist, Democratic Party Elites have been gleefully dragging into our Commonwealth explains the dramatic shift from a Republican-controlled Governor's office and General Assembly towards a Democratic Party controlled Governor's office and General Assembly! Well, that coupled the utter failure of the VA GOP to actually act like Repubicans and instead - the GOP has been acting like Tax & Spend and Borrow & Spend RINOs. All hail the globalists! The Democratic Party strategy is working! Flood the ballot box with voters that have no loyality to our nation and whose ancestors did not fight and die to protect the freedoms and rights we native born Americans hold so dear. Convert our nation into a Socialist-welfare state. Great plan Dems! So patrotic of you.
Who is Legal
We need to find some cavemen to give the country back to. America has been a nation for over 200 years with an immigration policy, before that, it was not a nation and was very sparesely populated, that is the difference.
Interesting...
Notice how few Western European people are now coming over? They're figuring it's better to stay over there.
Who is "Legal"?
The Powhatan's are thinking the same thing about you, Nicholasm44421.
Doh!
Wish data went further
I would be interested in the stats as to how many of the 1 in 10 are illegal.
