Not only that but some places like Maricopa County overstep their bounds with law enforcement to round up illegals. This is part of the reason Sherriff Joe is in deep trouble for racially profiling Hispanics during his crime sweeps and sending them to ICE over small charges. And before anyone says this is an Obama thing, this investigation goes back to Bush.
And the people living in the County elect him over and over, against the federal governments wishes.
The Federal Government won't do crap to Sheriff Joe. He is the only elected law enforcement, with authority by the people in the County. We are free or we are not.

I don't vote for him, I ALWAYS vote his opponent. As for throwing him out of office, the feds could do it that or throw him in jail for contempt of court like that Kim Davis in Kentucky over gay marriage.
As for your "we are free, or we are not" it's too complicated. Should we be allowed to carry AK-47s and rocket launchers because they are arms and be allowed to scream fire in a crowded room just because of the right to free speech?
How do you know it is 70 million, when the government doesn't even know.
Have you seen our welfare state lately? It may be more than 70 million.
I think you are confusing yourself. I have not verified this number but it sounds about right from what I know. The reason we know or can verify this number is b/c we are talking about people who get visas. That is quantifiable. The government knows how many visas it hands out.
These other posters are pointing out that your 99.9% cannot possibly be accurate b/c an increase in 70 million people a year would be quite noticeable and would, as another pointed out, double our population in about 5 years. Our welfare state really has nothing to do with this discussion.
They know how many people come in with visas, and that number is 70 million. You think 99.9% of them never return. Who told you this?
Again no one has exact figures because the federal government despite laws passed post 9/11/01 has failed to hold feet to fire. Governmental agencies along with private businesses simply have ignored laws and or directives for them to supply required information. The airlines in particular simply have refused to comply. This has been going on for > 15 years.
Actually, we know how many come in by airplane and we know - or should know - how many leave by the same route because airlines are required to gather passport details and report them to Homeland Security.
And we know this happens because foreigners are routinely denied boarding as happened to a family in the Uk not long ago.
