Report: 10 Million Illegal Aliens in U.S.

WASHINGTON -- The nation's undocumented immigrant population surged to 10.3 million last year, spurred largely since 2000 by the arrivals of unauthorized Mexicans in the United States, a report being released Monday says.

The population of undocumented residents in the United States increased by about 23 percent from 8.4 million in the four-year period ending last March, according to the analysis of government data by the Pew Hispanic Center, a private research group.

That equates to a net increase of roughly 485,000 per year between 2000 and 2004. The estimate was derived by subtracting the number of unauthorized immigrants who leave the United States, die or acquire legal status from the number of new undocumented immigrants that arrive each year.
The prospect of better job opportunities in the United States than in their native countries remains a powerful lure for many immigrants, said Pew center director Roberto Suro, pointing to a reason often cited by other researchers.

"The border has been the focus of federal efforts (to cut illegal entry) and has not produced a reduction in flow. Certainly that's an indication of ongoing demand," he said.

The population is growing at a similar pace as in the late 1990s even though the U.S. economy today isn't as robust, Suro said.

Assuming the flow of undocumented immigrants into the country hasn't abated since March 2004, the population is likely near 11 million now.

The report considered "undocumented" immigrants primarily as those here illegally; those in the United States on expired visas; or those who violated the terms of their admission in other ways.

I think that between Winchester, Federal, UMC, and Atlanta, they can manufacture enough ammo to help us fix this problem pronto!

And I think I saw about 10,000 of them this morning and I'm in Massachusetts.

There are more practical, humane and inexpensive ways ways to remedy the problem.

Does anyone have a reliable estimate of the proportion of Latinos in this country who are "undocumented?"

That's nothing. Aside from a few old people here in Pu-ay-bloooo, CO, our family is one of only a few non-Hispanics left. I even bought a CD to learn Spanish last year, so we could procure basic needs without confusion but, instead, I think we'll pack it up and move north like other English-speaking Americans.

M,
About 10,000 more lived in a single triple decker across the street from where my best friend grew up.

Huh?

Those patrolling the Arizona deserts should access to plenty of ammo if need be.

Ah, I see, I was not advocating hurting the illegals in ANY WAY!

I just want them OUT of the USA. Peacefully if possible, forcibly if need be.

I agree. 10 Million is one hell of an invasion force. Is this not an act of foreign occupation!?!?

That is why we need the military to start rounding them up and deporting them as well as protecting our borders. Also, once jobs, free medical treatment, and other special perks, such as reduced college tuition, are closed to them, hordes of them will return on their own.

I am completely convinced that this more than constitutes an unignorable act of war, for Mexico to send 10 million of its citizens here. It's a de facto annexation of territory.

"If Mexico is sincere about wanting to improve itself, it would stop pushing drugs and border hopping. Instead, it would invite us to invade and seize the entire country and turn it into the world's greatest golf resort. Let us be open about this. There is no reason for Mexico to be such a mess except that it is run by Mexicans, who have clearly established that they don't know what the heck they are doing."...Mike Royko

I'm sorry, but there is no way this is accurate. The truth is more like 2 to 3 times that many. I am willing to bet that SoCal alone has nearly 7-8 million.

That's a huge increase that have come in during Bush's watch. Of course, since he won't close the borders, that's not surprising. When we get hit again, everyone is going to blame him because he did NOTHING to stop the invasion!!

This is one of the dumbest statements written. If they are undocumented, how do they know how many there are? Duh.
