Dear Gabacho:
How many illegal immmigrants are in the US?

HRD in SD

Dear HRD:
There were 11.9 million unauthorized immigrants living in the United States in March 2008, according to new Pew Hispanic Center estimates. Note the different terminology: illegal immigrant, undocumented, unathorized immigrant, illegal alien, etc.
There is a very interesting article at pewhispanic.org that talks about trends in immigration in the United States and how population is estimated.
