“Estimates put the number of illegal immigrants in Virginia near 300,000”.
...the population for the entire state is about 7 million!
And I believe that 300,000 is a lowball number. I think it is more like a half-million, plus some. There are entire communities inside the Beltway that have been taken over, such as Riverdale, Maryland and Arlandria in northern Virginia, that now calls itself “Chirilagua,” instead, after the town in El Salvador from where they all originated. I would be surprised if 10 percent cent of them immigrated legally.
