From report: "[6] For example, the Pew Hispanic Center estimated that there are between 3.4 and 5.7 million unauthorized Mexican citizens in the United States, and the Urban Institute has estimated that there are more than
4 million.
[7] In March 2003, INS functions were transferred to the Department of Homeland Security. Responsibility for deriving these estimates now lies with the Under Secretary Management, Office of Immigration Statistics "
Any names to go with the Under Secretary Management - ?
just wondering - and also -

I'm thinking we should really re-think some of these countries - like France - for example -
This was dated around Sept. 11, 2003 - And poor data - ?
We need to re-do how our Reps. operate - I say set up a committee of citizens who watch over every bill or report put out by Congress - That way we would at least have a heads up on a lot that impacts this nation -
So many of these reports just get filed and nothing is said about them -
What a way to run the government -
And a great Thanksgiving to you!
Also - thanks for the sites - interesting information.
Cheers and take care!
