So just what is ‘their’ estimate of the total population of illegals here? They dance around it in what you posted, only referring to the yearly influx diminishing.

had to hit the actual report

Our estimate of the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States – 11.7 million as of January 2010 – does not differ markedly from other recent estimates using similar data and methods (e.g., Hoefer, Rytina, and Baker, 2011; Passel and Cohn, 2011).

it's been 11-12 million illegals for 20 years, yet in that same space of time the number of uninsured went from 18 million to 50 million.(according to RAT accounting methods...i.e. "thin air" estimates)
