"There are more illegals in Hamblen County than anywhere else in the world, not just Tennessee or America.”
That's what Congressman David Davis told local, state and federal officials who met in Morristown's City Hall on Friday. But does anyone other than Rep. Davis really believe what he says?
I'm not sure what point Rep. Davis was trying to make, but the truth is, his statement is totally false.
The population of Hamblen County is about 61,000. Statewide, statistics show that the illegal immigrant population is less than 50,000. The number one state for illegal immigrants is California, with an estimated 2.6 million illegal immigrants. Here's a reality check for the congressman: even if every illegal immigrant in Tennessee lived in Hamblen County, it would not make what Rep. Davis said true.
they're slippery and hard to count. LRR
ReplyDeleteHey Joe - seems your intellect has continued to grow since the old ETSU days. ALways did enjoy your view of worldly events. You hit this one on the mark. I'm still in JC - caught you through some links of our local Democratic Party on-line news. Would like to visit sometime - I guess you wouldn't be that hard to find in Talbott. Hey the picture's great - you've aged well.I'll visit again.
