I'll accept that it's probably higher than 11 million, but there's no freaking way it's anywhere close to 40-50 million.
I'm guessing that you don't see any illegals where you live. Correct? People who live in areas that haven't yet been infested with illegals tend to think that there are hardly any illegals in this country.

I live in southern Idaho. There are lots of Hispanics/Latinos here. Every town big enough to have more than one restaurant has a Mexican restaurant in it. Some of them probably are illegals.
I'm not saying there are "hardly any illegals in this country" I'm objecting to the idea that the number is anywhere close to 40-50 million. Because that's a completely ludicrous number and the person who gave it has yet to cite any sources.
My god man. Open the link and click the bear Stearns pdf file
If the best you can do is an 11-year-old report that estimates half that number, why not just come out and admit you pulled the 40-50 million out of your ass?

governments."
Bull****. There is probably 20 to 30 million illegals plus their anchor babies and anchors of anchors so it's between 40 and 50 million illegals

Why not just come out and say you like pulling numbers out of your ass?

I don't believe anything the government says and several sources say it could be as high as 30 million. Add in anchors and anchors of anchors and yep, between 40 and 50 million

westcoastforme said 20 to 50 million illegal aliens; the "50" number sounds high to me as well. Tho counting the anchor kids with 2 illegal alien parents, we MIGHT be up to 20 million.
That's still way too many lawbreakers in the US who need to be cuffed and stuffed on sight, held, then deported. Period.
People with a lot of time on their hands like the ones collecting benefits when they should be working.
Most of these polls, if they rely on landlines, skew older. That means retired people, senior citizens, etc.
Are these the people that you believe should be working?
