Time Magazine had the number 20 million. Maybe it is less, maybe more. In any case we ought to wonder how this has been allowed.
I can't argue.
I've had a gripe about how do we know how many illegal aliens there are in the US and how do we estimate them.
I remember Tom Tancredo talking about it on C-Span, and he is the biggest fighter for stronger borders in the house and has been the toughest guy on this issue.
I assume his numbers would be more accurate then anyone else, Pat Buchanan generally backs him and would have knocked him if his numbers were wrong.
Personally, I still can't figure out the methodology they use, but I'm following Tancredos numbers simply because, this is his issue and he has been the most die hard, solid supporter of border security and opponent of illegal immigrants in the last couple of decades.
The numbers he cites are generally in the 10 million to 11 million range....and growing.
