Thank you for posting something that actually resembles evidence. I have no great problem with 17M, which is roughly 50% more than the the “official” number. My beef is with those who claim 20M, 30M or 40M without bothering to post anything resembling proof to back up their extravagant assertions.
I am aware that children of illegals are not typically included in the count, but since those born in this country are considered native-born Americans under present interpretation of the law, many children of illegal aliens actually aren’t illegal themselves.
Whether this interpretation should be changed is a whole other issue.
I don't apologize for the phrase "lighten up"..
We've been fighting this illegal immigration battle for years here on FR. And you'd be surprised how many Trolls have invaded this forum all in the name of "amnesty".
