"More illegals have come across the border with Bush at the helm than at any other time in our countries history. Bush has done jack sqwat."

Actually Southack..........I don't mean to pile on you....but I believe Sas is correct...I've seen some figures here on FR that were kinda astonishing regarding the numbers of illegals strolling across our borders since 911. I'll try to dig up the post where I saw the figures...

Sasafras made two points. I'm all for seeing your stats on his/her first point...but my point of disagreement was with his/her second point as shown above.
The 35.2 million immigrants (legal and illegal) living in the country in March 2005 is the highest number ever recorded -- two and a half times the 13.5 million during the peak of the last great immigration wave in 1910.
Between January 2000 and March 2005, 7.9 million new immigrants (legal and illegal) settled in the country, making it the highest five-year period of immigration in American history.
Nearly half of post-2000 arrivals (3.7 million) are estimated to be illegal aliens.
