Illegal aliens are not allowed to sponsor familly members.

A sponsor has to be a USC, an American born children currently over the age of 18, or a green card holder...all not illegal aliens.

"10 family members"

USC are only allowed to sponsor immediate and non-immediate relatives. Parents are immediate famly members...[2]. Wife...[1-at a time]

non-immediate relatives[sisters, brothers]. Taking into accout that this sponsorship takes on average 10 years.


All other relatives are not allowed.

That kinda cuts into that 200 million.

FAMILY IMMIGRATION: US CITIZEN SPONSOR

Late for the party again. If they are amnestied, they are no longer illegal, are they?

As for "immediate" family members, I think you need to research the reality of “who” is being sponsored. Hint: It ain’t just spouses, parents, and children.

<<ere are only about 100 million people in Mexico.>>

We'e not talking about just Mexico. There are illegal aliens from nearly every country in the world here.

The "hispanic" population is growing at 100% in many regions while non-hispanic is growing 2%. It's not just from having extremely large families in just a couple years that is leading to such massive increases in numbers, it has a lot to do with people pouring over the borders.

And there is no reason to believe American hispanics with long roots in the USA suddenly decided to start having humongous family sizes. There's no reason to believe long-time Americans of hispanic ancestry are having much larger families than other Americans, as they have the same economic issues and financial burdens as any other American.

And by definition of illegal alien, there is no way the government knows how many just crossed the border because *supposedly* they just crossed undetected.

There is virtually no control over the borders and who comes over it illegally. There is a small fence in some spots but as we all know, they built a fence that wouldn't work and people easily climb over it, dig their way under it, cut through it, or simply go around it. Once a few yards over the border, nothing at all is done to apprehend them.
