I have to disagree there...........unless one is counting in the US born Anchor Babies--------whose legality here is questionable. Then that may equal 20 milion folks.
Too; the illegal aliens are leaving in droves.
Not counting the anchor babies, I also say that there is at least 20 million. In LA alone there are tons that people don't even know about. You would be surprised at how many reside in CA just by itself.

The anchor babies citizenship is unquestionable according to the Constitution. We need an amendment to correct that. And yes, they are leaving because there are no jobs to stay for. When the economy recovers they'll come back unless they are prevented.

Not really. The 14th Amendment specifically says that most of these anchor babies born here are NOT legal citizens. No, we don't need another amendment. We just need the damn country to start following the Constitution to the tee and then we wouldn't have this problem.

No, the citizenship of the parents is irrelevant. All persons born in the United States or it's territories are natural born US citizens.
"Amendment 14 - Citizenship Rights.Ratified 7/9/1868.
1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United
States "
Anyone physicaly in the US is subject to the jurisdiction thereof; that is why illegals have legal rights in our country, whether we like it or not. It's in the US Constitution:
"nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws"

Well that just made my hoilday, a whole hell of alot better!
So theres even more of them out their then I thought.
We don't have the tools to calculate the number of undocumented in the US, however the number of the so anchor children may be an indication since they are U.S. citizens, the number of these chidren has been growing dramatically, for a total of more than ten million in the past
few years, with most parents going back and forth from Mexico, these children are not going anywhere, and eventually their parents and siblings
will join them here legally, the total of all recent immigrants from sob may reach 40 million by the end of the next decade, this number plus the 50 million already here legally will make hispanics be almost the majoritary group in the U.S., however in that case scenario the vast majority will be
legal residents, and we will welcome them, since legal immigration is the only solution to the problem.
At this moment the people against immigration are losing the battle, look at Barletta from hazleton PA., he lost again a bid for congress, while we will have B. Obama at least for the next 8 years as president.
Barletta lost due to his party affiliation not due to his immigration policies. He enjoys a broad support in the region in that regard. That area would vote for a 2 headed snake before crossing party lines. They may go Repub in a local election but not in a congressional. Again? Last time Kanjorski ran unopposed if I am not mistaken. Not only that but Kanjorski didn't win by a large % which was always the case in the past. So no the noose is begining to tighten.

The only thing that should be illegal are theft, rape, murder, wrongful imprisonment, etc. Yes, there is a short-term need to control immigration, but I hope 50-100 years from now borders will be far less important than they are today. Human beings are human beings, no matter if they paid their bribes and have their papers in order with the government thugs or not!
The unescapable fact is that the US will be an Hispanic majority nation within 50 years (maybe 25). The demographics are undeniable. We may as well get used to the idea. Por que no? I just hope they'll be kind to geezer gringos like me.
