Not everyone who calls Mexico is illegal.

It would need to subtract out green card holders, etc.

“The government could monitor the phone system and get an idea of how many illegals are here with the call volume, if it wanted to.”

Yeah, except it DOESN’T want to! So many wasted opportunities!

Why would you assume everyone using a phone card to call Mexico is an illegal?

Most calling card calls to Mexico take what the telecom industry calls “gray” and “black” routes which are clandestine connections to bypass the various taxes and other charges levied by Carlos Slim (Telmex).

White routes (normal paths) are unaffected.

All the government would have to do is start a dragnet in New York City because at least half the Dominicans, Jamaicans and Haitians in this city are here ilegally. One previous poster has it right-they don’t want to do it especially now with Hope-y the Clown as president.
