Why do people perpetuate using the “11 million” number that’s been recited for 30 years?
Yes, at least 30-60 million, probably more. Heck, you cannot go anywhere without being overwhelmed with Mexicans and others speaking their version of Spanish. I think the government recently recognized that the 11 million count had run its course and people have been recently referring to a report saying 22 million. Still too low an estimate.
Fox news reported today that a new study puts the number at 25M min, but more likely closer to 40 or 50M. Study was done by some college in the NE. Sorry that’s all I can remember.
