It’s interesting that the 12 million number has not changed in years.
The number "12 million" is accurate. All the government does is reduce the size of the geographic area in which they are counting, or guessing the number of illegal aliens.
In 1965 it was "12 million" for the whole country. Now it's "12 million," for LA county. So, don't nitpick, OK?
Are there any more statistical questions?
