Roughly, there are somewhere between 11 and 12 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
(Q): Is that a lot of people?
(A): Yes and No. 11 mil is a lot numerically. However, if we consider this as a percentage of the entire U.S. population (apx. 310 million) then we see that this represents apx 3.5% of the total population of the United States. I.E. 96.5% of people in the U.S. are either citizens or documented immigrants.
When seen in this light, terms like "invasion" or "crisis" suddenly become highly suspect within the context of U.S. immigration.
Just a thought.
