The more I read the more I think the figures are probably more like 20-30 million here illegally. But like you say it’s impossible to substantiate since we don’t know how many illegal aliens have crossed the border just to do the jobs we don’t want to do.(BS)

Five years into the war on terror, most Americans desperately hoped 2006 would be "the year" for solutions to the long national nightmare of intentionally unsecured borders and the resulting illegal immigration crisis. For many, the dream was that at a minimum, we would begin to see border security and immigration law enforcement similar to what Mexicans still living in Mexico enjoy. It didn't happen.

Absolutely and then we have ridiculous things like a local school in Canterbury has a west Indian cricket coach and house-master in the boarding section.

Apparently he had a work permit to play the game years ago but after he retired it was extended temporarily and he decided he wanted to put back into the game and the county that gave him so much and got the above job.

The home office caught up with him and told him he needed to apply for extension/permanent residence etc. He applied but because he did not hold the minimum educational qualifications they consider he needs for the position he holds (though the private school were more than happy with his performance and he is popular amongst the boys, staff and their parents) they denied him permission to stay and he and his family (English wife and children born here) know faces deportation.

No doubt if he was unemployed and not benefiting the local community he would be granted permanent residency.

Makes your blood boil and I am sure you have many other examples of similar things in the US.
