I love it when people use vague terms like "flooding". A word like that, in
this context, has no use but to evoke an emotional response in an attempt to
bypass rational analysis of the issue. Especially when you use made-up
numbers like "10's of millions". As of 2003, the *TOTAL* estimated number
of illegal immigrants living in the US was fewer than 10 million (7 million,
to be exact). It's not even ONE ten million, never mind "10's of millions".
Well, Pete, Reuter's thinks you're wrong by a few million:
************************************************** *************************************************
WASHINGTON - A one-day nationwide strike and business boycott gathered
steam on Monday to demand legal rights for millions of illegal
immigrants, with many U.S. businesses shutting down voluntarily to
avoid disruption. Early reports suggested many of the estimated 11.5-12
million illegal immigrants in the country were staying away from work,
despite a mixed message from immigrant-rights organizations, some of
which opposed the action.
************************************************** *************************************************
I wonder how they estimate the number of illegal aliens? It's not like
they're standing around, asking to be counted.
