The numbers are only estimates from various data sources and the WAG factor. These estimates would vary from year to year and that then would be an average over a period of years.
here are some interesting sites.

And here is a realtime counter site. But remember the accuracy is only as good as the input and the sources.

In spite of these limitations, the Census Bureau did develop some estimates of their own. Their estimates at the time of the 2000 Census indicated that the illegal immigration population was about 8 million. Using this number, it can be reasonably estimated that the illegal-alien population grew by about half a million a year in the 1990s. This estimate is derived from a draft report given to the House Immigration Subcommittee by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) that estimated the illegal population was 3.5 million in 1990. For the illegal population to have reached 8 million by 2000, the net increase had to be 400,000 to 500,000 per year during the 1990s. The Census Bureau currently estimates a net increase of 500,000 illegal immigrants annually and a current population of about 10.5 million. This number represents one of the lower estimates and is disputed by many in the industry.
hope this helps

Oddly enough, they don't tell us as they enter the country.
The Department of Immigration And Naturalization should have the figures available about the number of illegal aliens caught each year. Figure on them catching at least half the number of actual attempts made (so you can use that number as the of illegal aliens that entered the US this year).

Around 2 millions. Most overstay their visa though, especially eastern europeans cuz they fool the system & come on tourist or summer camp visas.
