Where would I find such statistics? I don’t doubt they exist.
My figure is a direct observation having worked landscaping and construction jobs in my town along side people who are illegal and open about it. Then, interacting with the second and third generation friends in school, they weren’t listening to the Spanish radio stations.
- whatawaste 7y agoSo you are just pulling numbers out of thin air. You don’t know the total population of Latinos or the population of people who crossed a border without going though a port of entry or over stayed their visas.
- jmpman 7y agoI’m using direct observation and interaction with people in my city. Bayesian inference based upon a sizable sample size across many years? If you have a source of immigration status of Spanish radio listeners by US metropolitan area, it would be an interesting number. Someone has those numbers using more quantifiable methods than my sampling technique.
- otterley 7y agoDHS maintains official statistics of various metrics, which can be found on their website. Here's an example set: https://www.dhs.gov/publication/entryexit-overstay-report https://www.dhs.gov/publication/entryexit-overstay-report CBP also maintains statistics: https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration In the private sector, Pew Research (a well regarded, nonpartisan institution) generates statistics using loads of studies. See, e.g., https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/12/us-unauthorized-immigrant-population-2017/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/12/us-unauthor... These are all readily found using some basic Google searches.
- jmpman 7y agoOk, someone could take the pew research numbers on illegal immigration by metropolitan region, and then correlate that to Spanish radio listenership in those metros based on the Nielsen tlr data. As much fun as that is, and as much as I appreciate the HN readers demand such validation, I’ll let someone else run those numbers. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/03/11/us-metro-areas-unauthorized-immigrants/ https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/03/11/us-metro-ar... https://tlr.nielsen.com https://tlr.nielsen.com
