The numbers provided by the Heritage Foundation never passed my BS meter. Oh it sparked good heated talk radio arguments and the author of the "Web Memo" Robert Rector had his 15 minutes of fame, but 103 Million in 20 years? Come on. The population of all of Mexico is just over 106 Million.

Will the "High Wall but Wide Gate" Senate bill if passed as it is increase the number of people coming to America, looks like it, but lets be realistic about the numbers. As citizens We need logic not hysterics on our side when combating the infringement on our Nations sovereign borders.

Why does this line keep showing up, when anyone with a brain knows that the influx WON'T JUST BE FROM MEXICO.

According to US Census Bureau statistics, the number of Mexican-born residents living in the US in 2000 was 9,161,419 compared to 4,224,744 in 1990. The number of Latin American (Spanish-speaking) born immigrants was 14,203,404 in 2000 compared to 7,224,045. Census figures are usually understated and I doubt seriously if many illegal immigrants participated in the census, especially those living 8 to 10 in a room.
