That is a number that has been constantly and commonly used here. I arrived here in 2003. I swore in here in January of 2003. At that time. the immigration debate was talking about 12 million illegals in America. 12 million. 12 million. The drum of 12 million was beat for several years. Then it drifted down to 11.5. Now it is 11.2 million. We are thinking that we have a crisis with illegal immigration coming into America. But the number hasnt increased? Have that many gone back home? Have that many died? If not. that number is growing. and I think it has grown substantially more.
