I’m not sure what they exact number of legals are. I do know of a family that’s been trying to legally come here to live and become citizens {through due process} for years. They are non Latin American. Each time someone walks over the border illegally it sets back legal immigrants who want to be Americans and acclimate. Doofus in Chief can’t grasp that though.
Everyone here knows that we are being beaten not by the democrat party and the left, but by the legal immigrants that vote for them.
"This chart tracks the number of people who annually are granted legal permanent residence (also known as getting a green card). Green-card holders are permitted to live and work in the country indefinitely, to join the armed forces, and to apply for U.S. citizenship after five years (three if married to a U.S. citizen). As of January 2012, an estimated 13.3 million green-card holders lived in the United States, including an estimated 8.8 million eligible to become U.S. citizens."
