Size, impact of illegal population in Rhode Island a mystery – (a refreshingly honest headline)

Carcieri’s order directs the state police and state correctional officers to work with federal authorities to enforce some aspects of immigration law. It also requires electronic verification of the legal status of executive branch employees, and of employees hired through vendors who do business with the state.

Immigrant advocates, Hispanic leaders and many of Rhode Island’s top clergy members have sharply criticized the order, saying it has created a climate of fear in Rhode Island’s immigrant community and is based on flawed assumptions and inaccurate numbers.

But the reality is, no one can say with certainty how many illegal immigrants live in Rhode Island or how much they drain — or add to — the economy.”*
