Population Of Michigan Counties Questions and Answers
Resolved Question: Should illegals be counted in census?
Should the churches stay out of government business such as the census? If they are not afraid to come out of the shadows, why are they not wanting to be counted? Since they don't want to be counted, how will the schools pay for their illegal children to attend, they will be losing money? Has these churches gone too far? Should there be reprocussions? U.S. census sparks feud over the counting of illegal immigrants A national Latino clergy group wants 1 million to boycott the count in an effort to press for legalization. But immigrant activists decry the plan. By Teresa Watanabe May 31, 2009 In a high-stakes battle that could affect California's share of federal funding and political representation, immigrant activists are vowing to combat efforts by a national Latino clergy group to persuade 1 million illegal immigrants to boycott the 2010 U.S. census. The Washington, D.C.-based National Coalition of Latino Clergy & Christian Leaders, which says it represents 20,000 Latino churches in 34 states, recently announced that a quarter of its 4 million members were prepared to join the boycott as a way to intensify pressure for legalization and to protect themselves from government scrutiny. 3 California counties will check... Army extends immigrant recruitingDeportations carried out in the middle of immigration cases "Before being counted, we need to be legalized," said the Rev. Miguel Rivera, the coalition's chairman and founder. But the boycott call has infuriated many Latino organizations. La Opinión, in a recent editorial, denounced it as a "dangerous mistake" that "verges on political suicide" while an official with the National Assn. of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials called it "wildly irresponsible." "This is a phenomenal step backward in the strides we have made to make sure we are equal," said Arturo Vargas, executive director of the Los Angeles-based Latino officials group. The decennial census, which counts all people regardless of immigration status, is used to allocate federal funds for education, housing, healthcare, transportation and other local needs. By some estimates, every person counted results in $1,000 in federal funds. The census is also used to apportion the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, which are based on a state's population. According to a study in 2003, California's sizable illegal immigrant population allowed it to gain three House seats it might otherwise not have received. The state's illegal immigrant population also caused Indiana, Michigan and Mississippi to each lose one of their seats and prevented Montana from gaining a seat. The study by the Center for Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based research group that promotes immigration restrictions, also argued that the illegal immigrant population skewed the "one man, one vote" principle in elections. In 2002, the study found, it took almost 100,000 votes to win the typical congressional race in the four states that lost or failed to gain a seat, compared with 35,000 votes to win in immigrant-rich districts in California. Back in 1988, the effect on apportionment, which also affects the Electoral College, prompted a lawsuit by 40 members of Congress, Pennsylvania and the Federation for American Immigration Reform to prevent the Census Bureau from counting illegal immigrants. The complaint was dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court for lack of standing. "People who have no right to be in this country should not be counted," said federation President Dan Stein. "It's awfully hard to explain to U.S. citizens why they keep losing political representation to states like California because of people who broke immigration laws." Vargas and others questioned the boycott organizers' political motivations, noting that most of them were conservative. Rivera acknowledged that his coalition endorsed George W. Bush in 2004 and slightly favored Republican presidential nominee John McCain over Democrat Barack Obama by a vote of 52% to 48% last year. But he denied that the boycott was aimed at aiding Republicans. He said his group was concerned that federal funds obtained in part through the counting of illegal immigrants would be used against them to increase arrests and harassment by local law enforcement. Rivera also said he wanted to use the boycott as a way to pressure Congress to pass legislation offering legalization to illegal immigrants. So far, his group appears to have gained little traction in California. A group of affiliated Latino pastors plans to meet in the next week or two to discuss the boycott call but has made no decision yet, according to Jose Caballero, a Camarillo minister. But other Latino leaders say they are nervous about the boycott. "The fact that they are getting a lot of media attention concerns us that they could do a lot of damage," said Brent Wilkes, executive director of the League of Unite moreVoting Question: Can you help me answer these questions for the state Michigan?

Of the 36 abortion clinics in Michigan, doesn't it seem unusual that nearly one-third are located in our three largest black-majority cities? While Detroit, Flint and Southfield make up less than 12 percent of the state's population, they are home to more than 62 percent of our African-American citizens. Beyond this, more than 80 percent of all abortion clinics are located in the 10 counties that boast the highest number of African-American residents. While these same 10 counties represent about 57 percent of the state's total population, they represent more than 92 percent of the African-American population. On a city-by-city review, more than 75 percent of African-Americans live within the 10 municipalities that are home to nearly half of the state's abortion clinics -- while blacks make up 14.2 percent of the state's population. moreVoting Question: wondering where (ie state,county,) to hunt boar on public land with out a guide and without a license if possa?

I grew up in Lansing, Michigan (state capitol) and every first Saturday of the month at 1 pm the city would test its civil defense sirens. Although the sirens were only ever used a few times that I can recall... two tornadoes and a train explosion... they did provide an instantly recognizable warning. Now I live in the Upper Peninsula... still in Michigan, but with a smaller population. I live in a major city of the region, though... a county seat with a major hospital and university nearby. Not once in the two years I've lived here have I heard a civil defense siren. First of all, aren't all cities supposed to test their civil defense sirens? And second of all, why isn't my city doing it? Are we too small (60,000 people) or are we not as important as the state capitol? moreResolved Question: How to evaluate investment properties in areas with population decline?
I'm a real estate investor from California. I'm fairly new at the game. I've been looking at properties in Detroit for a year and have given up due to two things mainly: property taxes and population decline. Trying not to give up on Michigan completely, I've been looking at multi-unit properties outside of Detroit. I've found a couple multi-units that are interesting, in outlying counties, but these areas still have population decline (albeit much smaller decline than in Detroit). My question is for anyone familiar with these issues: as an investor, should I just run screaming from any place with population decline, or is there a way to take the decline into account when making an offer? In other words, if a place looks like a really good deal, but it's in an area with, say, 3.5% decline over the last 7 years, is there a "right price" for it, or is the right price no price at all? Any advice from experienced investors would be greatly appreciated. moreResolved Question: Did anyone else see this?
By COREY WILLIAMS, Associated Press Writer Thu Feb 28, 9:37 AM ET DETROIT - The broad-brimmed western hats, colorful festival dance dresses and Mayan-style pottery that line the shelves at Xochi's Mexican Imports are common sights at stores in the Southwest. ADVERTISEMENT But it's southwest Detroit on a cold, dreary winter day, not sunny El Paso, San Diego, Tucson or other cities just north of the Mexican border. From its Mexican Town restaurant district to the new shops of the La Plaza Mercado retail development, southwest Detroit is doing something it hasn't done in years — grow and prosper. "We come starving for a better life," 32-year-old dance instructor Valeria Montes said. "We want to strive and we've found in southwest Detroit a place to do it. The opportunity was here for us and we took it." Latinos are carving out a niche in neighborhoods far from the southern border more and more — from Bagley Street here to the Mitchell Street area in Milwaukee to Bailey's Crossroads in Fairfax County, Va. A new wave of Latino immigrants is following others who established communities in northern cities in the 1950s after getting jobs in the auto and other manufacturing industries. The attraction now is employment in restaurants, shops and other service-oriented businesses that cater primarily to residents in those communities but also draw non-Latinos. "A number of folks who are coming up — documented or undocumented — are finding jobs," said Enrique Figueroa, director of the Roberto Hernandez Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. The now-vibrant neighborhood wasn't always so. Its fate had mirrored most other areas of Detroit that began to lose businesses and people following the city's 1967 riot. Boarded-up buildings and an unappealing mix of fast-food stops, dank bars and seedy strip clubs lined the streets. Gang violence was rampant and the housing stock crumbled. "It wasn't a neighborhood where you could walk down the street," Southwest Detroit Business Association deputy director Edith J. Castillo said. "Now, you can actually walk down West Vernor. You can take your family out for ice cream after church." Castillo's nonprofit is one of several working with city officials and businesses to resurrect the area. More than $200 million has been invested in southwest Detroit in the past 15 years, which has attracted retail and new homes, including an $11 million condo development. "It's one of the few places in the city where you are seeing a lot of private investment," said Olga Savic, of the Detroit Economic Growth Corp., the city's public/private development arm. "West Vernor Avenue was once primarily vacant. Now, it's 90 percent full." The neighborhood is doing so well the mayor didn't include it in his plan to pump millions of dollars into distressed areas. Blight hasn't been totally wiped out, but older Latinos and the new immigrants are helping with the transformation. "These are people who are risk takers ... and understand if they are going to make it, it's up to them to make it successful," said Ruben Martinez, director of the Julian Samora Research Institute at Michigan State University. "Many others, who have been here for several generations, don't have that." The Detroit neighborhood is known as "Mexican Town," but it truly is a melting pot. About half the residents claim a Hispanic heritage, 25 percent are black, 20 percent are white and 5 percent are Arab-American, according to the Southwest Detroit Business Association. In contrast, more than 80 percent of Detroit's 920,000 residents are black. And while the city's overall population has plummeted in recent decades because of white flight and more recently the exodus of the black middle class, the southwest side's population has grown considerably, up 6.9 percent to more than 96,000 people from 1990 to 2000. The city's Latino population grew by nearly 19,000 over that period to more than 47,000. Without the manufacturing jobs that attracted many to places like Detroit, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s, Latinos have found opportunities in their own backyards, Figueroa said. "Once you had a cousin, uncle or aunt there, that was a logical place to come because there were still jobs," he said. "The Detroit economy and Milwaukee economy have not done so well in the '80s and '90s. But what has occurred in the Latino community is the establishment of new businesses, primarily service-oriented businesses that serve the Latino communities that were established in the '50s and '60s." Mexican restaurants and bars along Mitchell Street and in other parts of Milwaukee attract non-Latinos, but it's Latinos that keep the bakeries and grocery stores open, Figueroa said. "There is enough money in the economy that people can sustain retail establishments by primarily relying on Latino clientele," he said. It's that sense of community that led Montes and her husband to move from a downriver suburb of Detroit to the southwest side. "I feel like I'm at home," she said. "I go to get a haircut, I speak Spanish. I go to mercado (market), I speak Spanish. My daughter goes to school and there are a lot of Latino kids. It's a great feeling." **** Just wanted to post something that didn't portray immigrants as gang bangers, drug cartels, or welfare recipients. I am sure articles like these get overlooked.**** moreResolved Question: What do you think? (first page of story i'm writing, constructive critism pls.)?
My name is Magnolia Anne Hayes. I know, could you possibly get a weirder name? Yes, actually. That would be my nickname. In all of Beverly Shores, Indiana, my name is by far the weirdest. Which isn’t saying much. My town is ridiculously small, with the minuscule population of about seven hundred and thirty-seven people. I live at 5436 W. Ripplewater Ave. in a white farmhouse with a red roof. I live within Pine Township inside Porter County. I live near Lake Michigan, which is good because I love the water. I love to swim in it, boat on it, look at it, anything. It’s something I inherited from my mom. Since our town is near Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore and Indiana Dunes State Park, I go a lot and I love to see the wildlife. I’ve seen everything from white tailed deer, red foxes, raccoons, oppossums, cottontail rabbits, Canadian geese, ring billed gulls, red and gray squirrels, red tailed hawks (I had a kick in the fourth grade for the book series Animorphs, and I always thought that the red-tailed hawks I saw were Tobias, one of the main characters of the series), turkey vultures, many songbirds, many small rodents, garter snakes, mallards, and blue herons. It’s also cool because when I was reseaching our town for a project, I found out there are over ninety species of threatened or endangered plants in the reserve. It’s such a fun place to go, with the beaches, sand dunes, forests, bogs, and rivers the area contains. I ususally go every weekend when the weather’s nice and I can sucker my dad or my friends into to take me (I’m only fifteen!). I also bike there a lot. I’m an…original, in my town. And I’m the only teen in my absurdly small town to go by the name of Mango. From the very first day of kindergarten at Pine Elementary School, I’ve been known by this name, Mango. When my teacher, Miss Bluestone, first introduced me to the class, most of my peers kind of stared blankly at the teacher. Then they shrugged it off and started doing what kindergartens do, goofing off, painting, and playing games. When I would play with them, they would call me Migo-ee-A, until this girl, named Gabby Turner, got tired of this and decided to call me Mango. It caught on. Now, nine years later, I’m still stuck with it. “Mango!” called my dad from downstairs. “It’s time to get up!” I slowly sat up in my antique wooden twin bed and yawned. I unwilling pushed back my toasty blue covers and stepped onto the carpet. I quickly put on my fuzzy navy blue slippers and shuffled into my bright and cheerful bathroom. Ugh. I was not a fan of bright and cheerful in the mornings. I stood in front of my mirror, combing out my unruly reddish hair. My emerald-green eyes were slightly puffy-looking, and also half-closed. This is how I had looked for the past two weeks. Maybe because of the fact I hadn’t got good sleep in two weeks. Part of the reason I couldn’t sleep was the fact my birthday was coming up in a month. Also, I was going back to school today. Third, I’d been having dreams. **** Keep in mind, THIS IS AN UNEDITED MANUSCRIPT. IT'S NOT PERFECT. moreResolved Question: What is the population of the state of michigan?

The front page of this mornings Detroit news headline is about Wayne County's population loss in the last 6 months. This has been going on for years. Why don't people just admit it? What they have is not a budget/financial crisis in Michigan. What they have is a reproduction probelm. Why are so MANY schools closing (public and private)? Why are school districts losing money? Why are the local governements running deficits? I'll tell you why-there way does'nt work. Social Promotions, Share the wealth, Grade Inflation, etc.This is a country where only Certain Ones will get married, Only Certain Ones will have kids, Only Certain Ones can date who they want.

I've been hearing about the auto layoffs for sometime, now I read in Thursday's wall street journal that the highest foreclosure and bankrupcy rate in the nation(i'm writing this verbatim right off the article), is in the state of Michigan, and focused specifically on the cities of Detroit, the ENTIRE Detroit metro suburban area, Ann Arbor, Saginaw, Jackson, Monroe County, and Holland. What the hell is going on here? Why isn't this a bigger deal in the news? I'm writing this from Chicago, and I barely here it mentioned in national news stories. I think this should be the biggest news story in the nation.Forget the turmoil in the middle whatever, we have an entire state, the eighth-ranked in population(just over 10 million), essentially out-of-work. Did the whole nation and corporate-political powers that be decide to write the state off? This is really bad, if what I'm hearing is true. And cities like chicago that are doing "okay" will be touched by this too What's going on? BTW, home prices are DECLINING in all these cities.........something strange is going on here. another, BTW. People do care what is going on. I'm an investment banker in chicago, and I care VERY much what is going on in the job front(perhaps I should say NOT going on) in the state of Michigan. See, we've reached a point where we are outsourcing the country away. We've written off legacy costs, spun-off supply conpanies like visteon to dump costs on the pension board, and know its got to the point where we are writing off the future of 10 million people. What are these 10 million people supposed to do, go and collectively become blackjack dealers in Las Vegas? Is everyone supposed to work for the casinos now? Or become part of the public dole? If I were a Michigan resident, I'd be writing letters weekly to Jennifer Granholm in Lansing, asking her what the hell is going on, and what, if any, plans she has for the future. That goes for all national and local senators and reps. AND, more than anything, business leaders. They just sold your entire state down the toilet I have to laugh! I got zero comments here! Even the people who live in Michigan don't care evidentally! That must be why the state is totally fried job wise! Apathy leads to job loss.!!!! Will the last person with a job in Michigan turn off the lights! It's over. Even the people themselves dont care! I know what it happened...people got lazy. Lots of money was made in the auto industry, and it seemed as if it would go on forever(Watch the first 20 minutes of Roger and Me). They never bothered to diversity, and left the entire city of Detroit enmasse, which shot down any hope of attracting high tech workers in other industries. You ran away enmasse from what could have been a great city, leaving the hopeless and jobless on the dole. That put into play a city with the highest crime rate in the nation. That essentially shot down any chance of diversifying in the future. The only reason we in Chicago are doing well here is that we spent an excrutiating period rebuilding and tearing apart our city bit by bit. It was exceedingly challenging, but we did it. Now we have lots of jobs. You folks didn't, let the city rot to hell, and now you are in the suburbs with NO jobs! Thats why.....you guys did it to yourself, and its coming back to haunt you big time! moreResolved Question: Wow isn't this scary????
How open borders turn Americans into roadkill Illegals drive up highway deaths as U.S. hits new highs for unlicensed, uninsured motorists -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: August 25, 2006 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2006 WorldNetDaily.com Vitalina Bautista Vargas bids farewell to husband in court (courtesy Chattanooga Times Free Press) WASHINGTON – Marcos Ramos Medina was driving his 1997 Chevrolet Lumina erratically, according to witnesses, swerving several times across the center line, causing a tractor-trailer rig to jackknife in Yakima, Wash., Aug. 4, 2005. That was before his car plowed into the 2000 Lexus driven by Peggy Keller, 53, dean of distance education at Yakima Valley College, who was killed in the head-on crash. Prosecutors in his vehicular homicide trial contended Medina was coming down from a methamphetamine high. When Russell T. "Todd" Sharpe, a six-year Washington State Patrol officer, testified that Medina fought against his restraints while being taken to the hospital for a blood alcohol test and refused to answer questions, the case against the Mexican national with a criminal record who had twice been deported was declared a mistrial because his constitutional right to remain silent had been violated. "It pains me greatly, but in this case I must exercise an abundance of caution," explained Judge James P. Hutton. Little caution, critics say, is being exercised when it comes to preventing mayhem on America's highways as the country witnesses record high numbers of unlicensed, unregistered, uninsured drivers – millions of whom are illegal aliens like Medina. While no one – in or out of government – tracks traffic accidents caused by illegal aliens, the statistical and anecdotal evidence suggests many of last year's 42,636 road deaths involved illegal aliens. A report by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Study found 20 percent of fatal accidents involve at least one driver who lacks a valid license. In California, another study showed that those who have never held a valid license are about five times more likely to be involved in a fatal road accident than licensed drivers. Statistically, that makes them an even greater danger on the road than drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked – and nearly as dangerous as drunk drivers. While police do not routinely ask drivers about their immigration status, New York's Rockland County District Attorney Michael Bongiorno – who has prosecuted more than 20 felony cases this year involving people accused of both unlicensed driving and drunken driving – estimated that two-thirds of about 70 drivers charged in Spring Valley with misdemeanor counts of driving while intoxicated and unlicensed driving were illegal immigrants. "Unfortunately, the undocumented drivers here do that (drive unlicensed) more than the natives,'' said California Highway Patrol Officer Wendy Hahn. "If they've been involved in an incident, they flee because they don't want to deal with immigration.'' Federal immigration officials typically do not get involved when an undocumented person is charged with drunken driving or driving without a license, said Bongiorno and police officials around the country. While the Census Bureau estimates there are 9 million illegal aliens living in the U.S., other sources put the figure closer to 20 million. Running parallel to those estimates are the best guesses on the number of unlicensed motorists – 17 million. In addition, the states with the most illegal aliens also have the most unlicensed drivers. Those states are also in the lead for the most hit-and-run accidents, according to reports issued by the Fatality Analysis Reporting System and the Pew Hispanic Center. California ranks at the top with 24.1 percent of the known 11.1 million illegal aliens. The proportion of unlicensed drivers varies widely state-by-state, with 6 percent in Maine and 23 percent in New Mexico. Many of those advocating allowing illegal aliens to get driver's licenses make the case by suggesting most unlicensed drivers are so because they cannot get a license. In California, for instance, the Legislature is considering several proposals that would help illegal immigrants drive. One of them is a bill that would prevent police from seizing vehicles driven by unlicensed drivers. Senate Bill 626 by Sen. Nell Soto, D-Ontario, would apply to all drivers who have never obtained a California license. Opponents point out those favoring the bill are the same people promoting licenses for illegals. 'Under current state law, police can seize vehicles for up to 30 days if the driver is unlicensed. Under the new bill, if the driver never had a license, the vehicle could be seized for only 24 hours; those who had licenses suspended or revoked would still have the vehicles impounded for up to 30 days. Who are the people who have never had a license? Disproportionately, critics of the bill say, they are illegal immigrants. In the Maryland Legislature, Delegate Luiz R.S. Simmons, D-Montgomery, is drafting legislation that would stiffen penalties for unlicensed drivers. His bill requires them to appear before a judge and would make them subject to up to 90 days in jail for a first offense and as much as a year for a second offense. In addition, cars belonging to unlicensed drivers could be impounded for up to a month or forfeited if they were involved in an accident that caused an injury. Though there is absolutely no government data on the identity of Maryland's unlicensed drivers – or those in any other state – Simmons's bill has been attacked by immigrant rights' activists, who say it targets Latinos. Whether they are mostly illegal aliens or not, one thing is certain – there are more unlicensed drivers on the road than ever before. So prevalent is the trend that many police departments have cut back on sobriety checkpoints in favor of checkpoints to check the documentation of drivers. A WND statistical study of police reports of dozens of such checkpoints around the country show that close to 10 percent of drivers stopped are either unlicensed or have suspended licenses. Even at sobriety checkpoints, far more drivers are found to be unlicensed than intoxicated. While some say the answer to the illegal alien-unlicensed driver crisis is permitting illegals to get licensed, others say the solution is decreasing the number of illegal immigrants living in the United States. Rules determining who is eligible for a driver's license vary by state. Eleven states do not require legal immigration status to obtain a license. The rest do require proof of legal status, either by state law or the documents required to apply. The eleven states are: Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin. Tennessee and Utah have introduced a separate "certificate for driving" for state residents who cannot prove they are lawfully present in the United States. But Tennessee stopped issuing the certificates in February after reports that undocumented immigrants were coming from out of state and using false documents to apply. The Real ID act, scheduled to take effect in 2008, will prohibit all states from issuing licenses to illegal aliens or the licenses will not be accepted as identification for federal purposes. In addition to being unlicensed, most illegal alien drivers are uninsured – making the accidents they cause even more injurious. Statewide, more than one-third of California drivers are without insurance, according to the California Department of Insurance. In some low-income and minority neighborhoods, the rate is over 50 percent. In San Jose, for instance, 55 percent of all drivers on the road have no auto insurance. In some parts of Los Angeles, Imperial, San Diego and Alameda counties, the rate reaches as high as 90 percent. The situation isn't much better in other states with high populations of illegals. In Texas, 27 percent of drivers are uninsured. In Florida, the estimates are between 15 and 25 percent. In Colorado, 32 percent. Even though citizens and legal residents are victimized by the high percentage of uninsured drivers, illegal aliens themselves are often immune to the pain. Take the case of Victor Manuel Caballero. Even though he entered the country illegally from Mexico five years ago, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled earlier this year that he could collect damages for being hurt in an auto accident from a special state fund set up to benefit those hurt in accidents with uninsured drivers. Caballero would hitch a ride to his computer job with a co-worker, 19-year-old Ricardo Martinez. One morning, Martinez fell asleep at the wheel, veered off the road and struck a parked tractor trailer. Martinez walked away from the accident, but Caballero was badly hurt. Surgeons repaired injuries to his abdomen and intestines over a week in the hospital at a cost of $38,300 in medical bills and $1,482 in lost wages. He had no medical insurance. The driver, Martinez was not only unregistered, he had no auto insurance. It turns out he was illegal, too. The $38,300 in hospital bills was paid by a special hospital charity fund. And because of his successful lawsuit that went all the way to the state Supreme Court, Caballero was eligible for up to $15,000 for "pain and suffering." There are no official statistics about highway carnage and illegal aliens. But there is an increasing awareness among law enforcement officials – and victims of traffic accidents – that illegal aliens are playing a disproportionate role in the road mayhem. Earlier this month, a court in Chattanooga, Tenn., heard the case of an illegal alien convicted of running her car into a house and killing a 91-year-old woman. A judge ordered Vitalina Bautista Vargas deported. Amazingly, the family of the victim remained compassionate and merciful. "They wanted one of the conditions to be that she learn how to drive," prosecutor Jay Wood said. Prosecutor Wood said federal officials insisted that she be deported. He said as a convicted felon, she will not be allowed to apply to re-enter the country for at least 10 years. Louella Winton, the victim, was asleep in her bed when the car crashed into her house. The vehicle knocked the victim through the bedroom wall and threw her against the wall of the house next door. morePopulation Of Michigan Counties News
