Thus. if you take a look at the figures. a number of disturbing possibilities emerge. For example. if one looks at just the country of El Salvador. with a population of 4.7 million people. if that government were to totally fall to the leftist government patterned on the Cuban model which we see developing. you could probably have 300.000 to 400.000 Salvadorans immediately trying to gain access and entry into the United States. If you proceed one step further and look at the consequences of the region as a whole including Mexico. with a combined population of 90 million people. then the total figure becomes staggering. perhaps as high as 7 to 9 million refugees. If you want to put this into perspective you are talking about the combined populations of 10 States in the United States. The number of refugees could potentially equal the population of Alaska. Wyoming. Vermont.
