Immigrant flow slows


The Pew Center reports today that fewer undocumented immigrants are entering the United States.

The Center said the U.S. economy "generated worry" among Hispanics but offered no concrete reason for the shift.

In March, the Center estimated about 11.9 million illegal immigrants were in the States, compared to 8.4 million in 2000. The report says the population is rising but the growth rate is slowing.

About 80 percent of undocumented immigrants come from Latin America, the report found.
