I remember talking with someone about this ten years ago. The number back then was twelve million. We agreed the number was out of date, even back then. For every illegal caught trying to cross the border how many get through?Anecdotally there's a lot of stories about those who fail once but try again and succeed. It's pretty much impossible to get an accurate number because everybody's lying about it, from the advocates to the illegals themselves who don't participate in any census. They live in the Mexican neighborhoods and no one can sort through those neighborhoods to see who is actually there. The Chicago public school system's largest demographic is Hispanic, at about 44%, blacks 40%, whites about 8%. If a person walks through a Mexican neighborhood around here such as Little Village they're struck by the population density of the area; people are all over, lots of women with strollers. Many different neighborhoods are now Hispanic that were previously white. This is repeated everywhere throughout the country, Hispanics living in areas they've never been seen in before. Just taking your own eyeball survey tells you a lot. Sure, people can say what you see is just anecdotal and therefore unscientific. A single raindrop is an anecdote; put enough of those anecdotes together and you've got a rainstorm. I don't need a weatherman to tell me it's raining.
Excellent, one of your very best.
ReplyDeleteOne private agency several years ago estimated based on remittances about 20 million.
ReplyDeleteAbout 1 million w2ee estimated before the amnesty of the mid 1980's. That total was actually found to be about 3 million.

You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the wind is blowing either. Thank you Bill Ayers and Bernie.
