I'm not doubting you, but I'm curious where you get a statistic like that. If you look at the official 2000 Census figures (which is supposed to include illegals as well as legals) there are only a total of 3 million foreign-born people in LA county. Are 2/3 of them illegals, or did the census miss that badly?
Yep.
Even the "official" numbers on Illegals are rising as fast as Gray Davis' budget deficit.
And consider this: Doesn't the Federal Government have a conflict of interest in being trusted to report the actual size of the Illegal population, given their complete bipartisan failure to deal with the foreign scofflaws?
