Hmmm... 36 Million, huh?
I always guess-timated 50 Million!
In any case, those 12 mil figures are bs, and they know it.
My 50 mil figure may still be closer to the truth—or...I may be on the low side!
My guesstimated figure is around forty million. That's around forty million too many.
For sure. That figure has been bandied about for years. It was no doubt low when it first became the "official" pro-illegal talking point number.
Your right, several years ago before all this immigration reform stuff got hot, the MSM was using an 18 to 20 million illegal figure in their reporting.
When the immigration debate became hot and on the forefront, I noticed the media began to dumb down the 18-20 million illegal figure to 10-12 million.
The MSM has been complicit in the attempt to legalize millions of illegals by dumbing down the numbers by 8 million or so to make Amnesty a bit more palatable to the average joe-six pack.
Shameful socialist!
