Note that while the governmental statistics say there are 11,000,000 illegals in the country, I have seen estimates ranging as high as 30 million, and this counter uses the 20 million benchmark, FYI.
I just found it and haven't had a chance to figure out where the numbers come from yet, but it sure is user friendly!
What do you think?

I will say that the 'incarcerated' number if anything looks low based on Homeland Security estimates, and the 'fugitives' number is about what I have seen governmental sources say.

The cover page to this says: "Data sources include The Center For Immigration Studies, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Census Bureau, The Government Accounting Office, The Federal Bureau Of Prisons and others. "
It's the 'others' I don't know.

Data Sources
DATA COLLECTION METHODS: This site does not contain any original research, it contains the numbers released to the public so the public does not have to mine the numerous reports themselves. Only the most respected sources are used. Significant effort is made to provide what is determined to be the most reliable data and as such is published in good faith to maintain integrity of data. We find that the data used is sufficiently reliable for the purposes of this site.
The methodology is simple, find the number as far back as available, total this to the current date and project the rate of increase based on the previous trend. Some counters are formulated with their beginning numbers that date back several years, others because data was not available begin more recently. The beginning year will be noted with each counter data source. Trend data from the previous years are used to set the clock update rates. Each counter began running on 1 June, 2006.
The links you give are always interesting.Thank you so much !

nice link , i have noticed when you try to back something with substantial proof people tend to cower away from what your doing or they tend to try to criticize it to death , but your supposed to look over the fact here breaking the law and it will all be good . the numbers are staggering and it is most defiantly disturbing
