Colorado's Rocky Mountain News... last week reported that "Colo. Immigrants are mostly from outside the U.S."

I had to read this headline several times to understand that, as a descendant of the nation's Founders who fled to Colorado from Mexifornia, I am now an "immigrant", albeit it from inside the US. The news brief reports that "Nearly 19,000 people immigrated to Colorado from other countries in 2005, triple the number moving here from other states, according to US Census Bureau information released Wednesday. The lopsided immigration trend [emphasis mine] continues a pattern that goes back several years."

RMN now defines foreigners, many illegals, entering the US, and Americans relocating within our own nation as: Immigrants.

The UN defines "internal refugees" as Citizens forced to flee to other areas of their own nations to escape conditions often created by policies implement by their own government.

Americans fleeing the growing Third Worldization of America solely due to our government aiding and abetting the immigration invasion–against our will–must be recognized as just that: Refugees.

Article: Immigration level swells in Colorado

Nearly 19,000 people immigrated to Colorado from other countries in 2005, triple the number moving here from other states, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released Wednesday.

The lopsided immigration trend continues a pattern that goes back several years and signals an economy that still hasn't regained the high-skill jobs it lost in the tech bust a few years ago.

"Nationally, there has not been a lot to drive people to Colorado," said state demographer Elizabeth Garner. "We haven't had the job growth. We're just getting back to our peak number of jobs we had in 2001."...

The Census Bureau estimates that Colorado had a net influx of 18,800 foreign-born immigrants from July 2004 to July 2005, as compared with a net of 5,500 people moving here from other states.

But Garner said the Census Bureau's estimates on those moving to the state from outside the country are notoriously "soft" because the federal agency is only guessing at the number of illegal immigrants included in the category.

She also said the Census Bureau extrapolated its findings for 2005 based on the number of foreign-born Coloradans reported in the 2000 census....

Overall, Colorado picked up 63,000 new residents in 2005, for a total population of 4.67 million, according to the Census Bureau....

Garner warned that Douglas County may not be Colorado's growth leader for long, with Weld and Adams counties threatening to dethrone it.

Weld Country had a growth rate of 4.1 percent in 2005, making it the second fastest-growing county in the state, and Adams County was at 3 percent, in fourth place. [Doubling times are 17 years and 23 years respectively - CAIR]....
