although the census numbers likely undercount the number of illegal immigrants significantly.

And so, the rest of what you said above means what?

I spelled it out quite clearly.

If the 2010 census number of 309 million is believable, then it means that there were less than 13 million immigrants - illegal and legal combined - in the past decade.

It means that wild-eyed claims of 20 or 30 million illegal immigrants alone are completely insupportable.

I would also point out that - given the assumption by most observers that the majority of America's illegal immigrants are Mexican - the Mexican statistics on emigration imply 3.5 million illegal immigrants.
