Well, census info. on illegals is, and will always be, a projected estimation.
And yes, a chunk of them are young adults, who choose not to purchase. Why? Look at the prices Chewbacca quoted. So yeah, I don't disagree there. In this economy, alot less will get it now also. And so when they got to the emergency rooms, our taxes take care of them.
