First of all, let’s answer the obvious question. About how many immigrants are in the United
States illegally? There are
approximately 11 million or roughly 3.5% of the U.S. population. This may surprise you - about two-thirds of
this segment of the population have been in America for more than 10
years. Plus, they are more likely to be
native-born residents.
About 40% of these illegal immigrants have simply outstayed
their visas. The government is cracking
down on border crossings by employing five times more agents than it had 25
years ago. It is estimated that over
eight million are employed or looking aggressively for jobs. And believe it or not, roughly half of them
pay some form of income taxes!
