Remember, we legalized around 3 million illegals in 1987, and that was suppose to end that problem, along with increased enforcement that never happened. But since, the illegal population has mushroomed to 12 to 20 million, and that is the estimated ILLEGAL population that would not include citizens, or any Hispanic births within the US. Only illegal entrants and visa overstayers.
I remember it quite well. Simpson-Mazzoli was passed in 1986. This was supposed to be a one-time amnesty and the USG estimated that 1 million would apply. The real number turned out to be 2.7 million. In order to be eligible for the amnesty, you had to have lived in the US for five years, i.e., prior to 1982. Document fraud was rampant. Despite the amnesty we now have 12 to 20 million illegals.
“But it is true using real data from the Bureau of the Census.”
I’m talking about the present Hispanic population in the US, not future projections. They are now about 14% of the total, or around 42 million. With 12 - 20 million illegals (and they are counted in the census, unless they evade it), it’s easy to see that 1/3 or more of the Hispanics in the US are illegal. That is an incredible impact of illegal immigration that 1/3 of an ethnic group would have come here illegally in the past 20 years, with the greatest influx since 1993.
