This essentially puts California's population over 40 Million. It also dramatically increases many other states as well.

Not a shock to see CA at the top of the list.

One state that really sticks out to me is North Carolina. Geez, it must be crazy out there.

Yeah, there are tons, especially in the rural areas. It really surprised me visiting various parts of NC.

No real surprise what the top 2 states are for this. I'm sure it's only gonna get worse over the next couple of years.

NC is a fast-growing state. I hate to stereotype, but the truth is that a lot of illegal immigrants work in construction, and they will live where there's a booming construction market. Myrtle Beach, SC, Wilmington, Raleigh, and Charlotte, NC all have surprisingly large hispanic populations due to this. Nothing like California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, etc., though.

10 million illegals. Well isn't that just excellent. I'm glad we are so knowledgeable on what’s going on in Iraq because we sure as MOD CUT don't know what the hell is going on here. I want to vomit on our government on all levels...local, state and feds.
Talk about letting the legal Citizens of the U.S. down.

Here the list of top 10 states by population, and by illegal pop - made it easier for me to read:

By POP:

CA, TX, NY, FL, IL, PA, OH, MI, GA, NC, NJ

By Illegal POP:

CA, TX, NY, FL, IL, NJ, AZ, GA, NC, CO, WA

AZ is 16th in pop
CO is 22nd in pop
WA is 14th in pop


to me, Colorado is very surprising (AZ isn't). Nevada has 170K illegals, which is 13th, yet their pop is #35. Oregon has a surprisingly high per capita as well, they are #13 with Nevada, but #27 in population.

does anyone have future projections for states?

[cousinsal]

It disgusts me, especially in the construction jobs - those jobs went from $18/hour years ago to $9/hour today, because of illegals depressing wages.

These are not "jobs Americans won't do"! Nothing really is, as long as pay is fair.

Don't get me started.
