“The numbers tell the story: The immigrant population has nearly quadrupled in Metro Orlando, from about 77,000 in 1990 to at least 302,000 in 2005.

More than 3.2 million foreigners of different immigration statuses and national origins lived in Florida in 2005, the last year for which updated figures are available. An estimated 850,000 were in the state illegally, but most have some sort of temporary or legal status.”
