How many illegal aliens are presently in the USA?

Question

US gov't says 10-11 million.... some say 15 million.... and yet other people say 30-33 million. Of course, each faction has its agenda for its estimate, I just wonder what is nearer to the real number, all illegal aliens, not just Mexicans.

One is one too many in my view.

Answer 1

There Are 25 - 30 Million ILLEGAL Aliens In The USA

http://www.theamericanresistance.com/ref/illegal_alien_numbers.html

Census figures show that 90 percent of illegal immigration
comes from Latin America,
with 70 percent of the total from Mexico.

Though the Mexican government should be embarrassed
that 10 percent of its people have fled to the U.S. from Mexico,
President Vicente Fox's administration has embraced this reality.
In fact, increasing the number of Mexicans
working illegally in the United States
is among Mexico's highest foreign policy objectives.

Of course, not all illegal aliens come from Mexico.
In 1997, the illegal alien population was 54 percent Mexican.
The illegal alien population is currently
70 percent Mexican,
with 30 percent coming from other countries.
Latin America, including Mexico,
is the source of 90 percent of illegal aliens
entering into the United States.
A 2004 Fox News article stated that
"it is not just Mexicans
who are flooding into our border states anymore.
Along with the Nicaraguans, Brazilians, Venezuelans,
Ecuadorians, and Chileans,
agents of the Border Patrol now encounter
Chinese, Pakistanis, and Indians.
Nationals of countries other than Mexico are known,
in Border Patrol parlance, as 'OTMs'" -
Other Than Mexicans.

It is therefore reasonable to assume that
Other Than Mexicans account for at least
several hundred thousand illegal entries annually.

On January 9, 2004,
President Bush proposed a guest worker program -
a thinly veiled amnesty for illegal aliens.
A February 29, 2004, Fox News article
subsequently stated that from 50 percent to 90 percent
of illegal aliens apprehended claimed
they were coming here for the "amnesty" (their words).
One Border Patrol officer stated that
"They believe that they are only responding to an invitation."
Official Border Patrol apprehension statistics show that total 2004 apprehensions as of June 30, 2004 represent A 190 PERCENT INCREASE
over total 2003 apprehensions.

Intentionally low, static, and misleading official government estimates claim that
8 million to 12 million illegal aliens
reside in the United States
and that 700,000 new illegals enter and stay every year.

Based upon the analysis presented here,
is likely that in mid-2005
more than 20 million illegal aliens
resided in the United States,
with roughly 12,000 additional illegal aliens
entering every day.

Thats 3 Million Or More Each Year

20 Million In Mid 2005
Lets Put That Into Perspective

Answer 2

60 Million

Answer 3

In my opinion there is no way to tell how many illegals are in the United States.

Think about it, its not like illegals fill in a form saying they are illegal.

The real question is does it matter. And why? I mean we have lived with this problem for years and our country was founded by immigration.

Answer 4

Last time I crossed into the US from Mexico by bus everyone seems to have a very official looking ID, where are these coming from? It looks similar to a driver's license. Are they fake or real? And, another thing, Mexicans believe that there are millions of illegal Americans living in Mexico! They are hiding real well if they are.

Answer 5

america has close to 50 million illegals and that's fact for i've heard daily around 8-10 thousand cross illegally. even at 8 thousand daily makes 56 thousand weekly, 224 thousand monthly and 2 million 688 thousand annually, that's a minimum estimate. our liberal politicians are so screwed up that all they want is the illegal vote to destroy america.

Answer 6

There are 30 million from Mexico, 5-9million kurdish/iraq. 7-10million baltic and croatians. 3-7 million somolian and haitian. 3-10 million russian. 3-10 million easter european. 10 million hindu.

That's rough estimates. So potentially there could be nearly 100 million. Our population of America could be at 418 million when all that's reported is 318 million.

Answer 7

There may be as many as 20 million illegal immigrants in the US today and thats not talking about just the mexicans (my father) hee hee jk

Answer 8

....Well, that's a good question. I've heard 12, but ya know what-- I've also heard 25, and having worked with the government and Consulates abroad, I know that they downsize the true statistics specifically to make them look not that bad off...

We'll start with the 25 million I heard the first 3 days of this immigration debate back in early March. --Later announced by the New York Times, it was 12 million. Now how in Jesus' name did it drop 13 million in 72 hours?

I'll explain this.. so hear me out please if you will... When I worked with these guys back when I was in the Marines as a Marine Security Guard over in Tehran, Iran, most true statistics seemed to have been underexagerated by a pretty large percentage.

It was one day I finally asked a comrade about this, and he was/ or had been working as MSG going on the 3rd year, so I was trusting this information. Now, I can see that it all makes sense after having been spent another year in Cordoba, Argentina with approximately the same control figure..

I say control figure because that's what it is. The government lines up it's true statistics and downsizes it's numbers accordingly compared to 26%. Why 26? Well.. why not? It's a large sum, it's not too large though, however, it's pretty random. It's an even number, but it doesn't land on a multiple of 5.. Plus, it's out there; random.

Now.. lets go back to the 25 million I heard the first few days. The majority of my news stations here in Houston, Tx. are right-winged.. and even the Wall Street Journal for example.. is right winged. The Wall Street Journal passed out information concerning the population of illegals (not just Mexican) being at 25 million. While the New York Times may have passed out 25 million, I have no recollection of them doing so. They printed 12 million.

Now.. the government owns media. And it's not anything new. All media, newspapers, public affairs offices, and or magazines, print services, etc.. are somewhat owned or sponsored by different political parties. New York Times for example is Liberal and the Wall Street Journal-- Conservative.

The current Right-Wingest Admin. in office probably downsized their true statistics 26% on top of the quote Mexican President Vincete Fox requested.. -- a cut of 20 million on top. So.. 40 million times that of 26% comes to a sum which added, is 60 million.

The admin. was probably under the impression that Mr. Fox's request wouldn't hurt them any, so reducing the statistics once again, would be all the better.

Now, the New York Times, where they got 12 million who knows, but I suppose it worked.. or someone thought it would-- and the Rep. party in office sure isn't going to complain about it. Anything above 12 million makes them look bad!!

So, they went with 12 million from now on. If it didn't happen this way, all the right wing media would keep on shouting out 25 million.

You always must remember that the government overexagerates to meet advantages for themselves. It's a thing to do with "National Security." Of course it's not-- and it's all a big scam, but that's only up to the theologist and conspiracy theorist... They have no proof, so what does it matter???

But, lets look into this further shall we?

I live in Houston, Texas.. 74% of my cities population is Mexican.. according to last years stats. Houston, Tx. has a population of approximately 3,500,000 (3.5 million). Not all Mexicans are illegal-- no!! Of course not! But, whoever said Mexicans were our only illegals? No one in fact!! In fact, the deal on YA that the illegals are trying to get thru to us are the fact that Mexicans aren't nearly the ONLY illegals here!! Which is true! They arn't! BUT, they are the majority...

And because they are the majority, I'm going to use them as a prime example. Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Miami, San Antonio, St. Louis, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and all of New Mexico, like Houston, and Dallas are called sanctuaries.. which are sanctions of illegals.. In these cities, it is easier to "hide" or be undistinguished with everyone else-- besides the language barrier. It is also illegal in most of the U.S. cities to ask of one's illegal status. If the average percentage of illegals in each of these cities, (I listed above) is just under 51% (according to the Gallup Poll), how can it be that there are only 12 million in the entire country? The figure's that the media currently represent clearly do not add up-- somewhere, there is a somewhat large mistake. Therefore, we know that the statistic given does not account for the proof that these surveying organizations have come to conclude...

Besides that, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to walk out the door and see that the figures just don't add up!

No offense, but I was driving today, and I decided to play a little game... I took the I-10 west toward San Antonio and back.. I counted 100 cars west, and 100 cars east back home.. I later, counted another 100 driving around Houston.. It was just a random drive.. any random car... If they were brown skinned and drove slow (no offense) and or didn't seem to know how to drive, OR had 10 people in it (again, no offense), I counted them as of Hispanic descent. Here's what I came to:

Westbound: 78/100
Eastbound: 53/100
Around 610 Loop: 81/100

Those figures you see up there... That is Westbound, I recognized 78 hispanics or "brown skinned" with the above criteria I listed previouslly. Eastbound I spotted 53 out 100, and around the city, 81...

According to the Gallup Poll, nearly 85% of hispanics you see everyday, are illegal.. (again, no offense). That means, 78 + 53 + 81 = 212.
212 * .85 = 180.2 . That means, that in the 2 hours I was up and about, driving, I had just witnessed 180.2 illegals.

As I mentioned above.. if you are hispanic, I'm sorry I have offended you.. I'm clearly making a statement.. And because those of hispanic origin or descent happens to be the most amongst the illegals currently in this nation, I used that as an example. Fits perfectly because I actually contributed a personal experiment.

As for anyone that doesn't believe me, bring your butt down to Houston, and see for yourself...

Thanks for reading.. and have a good night/ good day...

Answer 9

you're correct for sure! enable's evaluate cutting-edge Israel first. It replaced into quasi-created as an "institution in Palestine of a nationwide abode for the Jewish human beings" by the British Balfour statement in 1917. What land did that comprise? -- "the total of historic Palestine, consisting of Transjordan," in accordance to 1936 Peel fee information analyze. Transjordan is now what's generic because the West economic organization and Jordan. "historic Palestine" includes cutting-edge Israel and Gaza. on your variety the splitting of "Palestine the Jewish position of start" into Jordan and Israel must be like the splitting of the hot international between Spain and Britain, with regards Mexico and the yankee colonies. In reconsidering the Balfour statement in the course of the early twentieth century the British colonial powers needed Jordan to to be the position for the Arabs no longer wishing to proceed to be contained in the Jewish position of start. yet it is not any longer solid sufficient for the jihad inspired Jew hating cutting-edge Palestinians. purely as having the wide and source wealthy us of a of Mexico isn't solid sufficient for the most Anglo/Gringo hateful individuals of l. a. Raza and affliates. i have lived for over a twelve months in Mexico city, I were given to demonstrate screen and understand a number of them. yet in Mexico city they're sedate and properly-mannered. In Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and pretty California they're obnoxious and merciless. You betcha that throughout time, per chance quickly, they're going to look in NGO conclave or UN tribunal and insist precisely what you say -- except WE prepare we've backbone, may AND the favor to apply IT properly AND FIRMLY.

Answer 10

Illegal aliens... do you mean other human beings or some sort of unknown lively stuff coming from the unknown ;-)
