I keep hearing about "millions of illegal aliens" swarming across the borders. If these people have avoided documentation, what information does the gov't base their numbers on?

It's a guess, at best...somewhere between 12 and 20 million...how many do YOU think there are? 4?

I think the formula is,
Body count X 124 divided by the number of days study is done multiplied by infinity to the 3rd power.

I'm not sure. They may base it on the numerous false identities that hospitals are given when illegals are treated.

They don't know for sure. There was no turn style counting people as they came over like when you get on the subway.

Don't know but I think their estimate of 11 million is close enough (i.e., +/- 20%).

It's a good guess, like all polls, just forumulas, factors, and number compilations.
