TIME Magazine in a feature article in 2004 published an estimate of three million illegal aliens arriving each year. However, that estimate was based on a mistaken assumption that a million illegal aliens are being apprehended each year and three times as many avoid apprehension. The actual number of persons apprehended is considerably lower than one million because the same individual often may be apprehended multiple times during the year.
It is difficult to have an exact figure because the illegal nature of their presence prevents any enumeration, but the U.S. Census Bureau estimated 8.7 million illegal aliens were here in 2000, and immigration officials estimate that the illegal alien population grows by as many as 500,000 every year
/In the August 2001 issue of Demography, immigration researchers estimated the current total population of illegal aliens at 7.1 million, of whom 3.9 million were Mexicans. Also in August, a demographer at the Urban Institute issued an estimate that the illegal alien population was 8.5 million, with 4.5 million of them being Mexican.//
Estimated Distribution of the Illegal Alien Population
The nationalities of the illegal alien population in the Census Bureau estimate and INS estimate for 2000 are as follow:
Region/Country CB Est. INS Est.
North and Central America 5,312,990
Mexico 3,871,912 4,808,000
Cuba 216,297

Over 4 million not counting the kids from what I've read. (I count them as an impact, citizens or not, because they wouldn't be in the schools but for illegal immigration of their parents.) However, that is based on census numbers and depends, on some level, on someone actually reporting how many people live in a particular structure.
45 WHO wants them? They bolster the census and thereby bolster the number of reps CA has, and some of those areas are MAJORITY illegally here. Until we get voter ID out here, I wouldn't be so sure you are hearing what WE want. California passed strict laws against them by voter referendum but our court struck them down and our governor didn't appeal. So voters recalled the governor. No offense, but we didn't get a lot of support back then from the rest of the country which hadn't yet felt the problem as we did.

I have read that California has between 30-35% of the illegal alien criminals in the US. (The next highest percentage is in Texas.)
SO multiply 20 million times -- oh say 33% -- and you'll get your answer.

If they are illegal, they are not registered, so how can there be an official "count"?
Funny how there are statistics that say how many there are, but there is no way to keep a track of them since they are not registered as citizens.

I don't think anyone knows for sure. One estimate I saw was between 3 and 4 million.

there is no way of telling how many illegals are in California. There undocumented and we have no records of them.

I don't pretend to know the numbers but I must agree that one is far too many!
