10 Million Illegals Entered Last Year

@ 10:17 PM (19 months, 6 days ago)

Even I have a hard time with that number. I'd like to see more about it. I heard only one mention of it on a local TV News channel.

Citing federal estimates that the Border Patrol apprehends only 10 percent to 30 percent of illegal crossers, the report said as many as 10 million illegal immigrants may have entered the U.S. last year.

Estimates by the Pew Hispanic Center and other experts peg the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. at 11 million to 12 million.

I posted a link talking about Time magazine's study in 2004 that put the number at 3 million, but 10???

  1. Technically they don't count so hitting 300 Million Americans will be slightly delayed.

  2. I'm so sick of the BS. One study says there's a 8-10% reduction of crossers and then another comes out that says more are crossing than ever before. Honestly, I don't think the government wants us to know what the real numbers are.
