Colorado’s illegal immigrant numbers jump from 2004

“The number of illegal immigrants living in Colorado increased by at least 25,000 from 2004 to last year, the Pew Hispanic Center reported Wednesday.

The center estimates Colorado was home to 225,000 to 275,000 illegal immigrants in 2005, up from an estimate of 200,000 to 250,000. That means Colorado accounts for about 2 percent of the estimated 11.1 million illegal immigrants nationwide. “
