Although I don’t know from where your information comes, if one just took the 25% number of legal/illegal immigrants on face value, that’s 25% of say 300 million - 75 million.

What IF half of the immigrants are illegal? What if 1/3 are?

I’d say the supposed 12 million number is off by at least a factor of 2.

I don't understand your premise. According to USG figures, we have around 45 million foreign-born in this country with about 11 or 12 million being here illegally.

I’d say the supposed 12 million number is off by at least a factor of 2.

I agree the number is probably larger. And those numbers will grow once an amnesty looks possible. Prior to the 1986 amnesty, we had a flood of illegals entering the country to take advantage of it.
