How Many Illegal Aliens?
Government and academic estimates indicate that as of 2006 there are
11 to 12 million illegal aliens living in the United States . The
Center for Immigration Studies estimated the illegal alien population
at 10 million as of November 2004. FAIR estimates that in 2007 the
illegal alien population is above 13 million persons.

It is difficult to have an exact figure because the illegal nature of
their presence prevents any enumeration, but the U.S. Census Bureau
estimated 8.7 million illegal aliens were here in 2000, and
immigration officials estimate that the illegal alien population grows
by as many as 500,000 every year.

The estimate by the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
issued in February 2003 put the number of resident illegal aliens at
seven million (as of Jan. 2000), 4.8 million of whom were Mexican and
2.2 million of whom resided in California . That estimate included the
annual rate of increase in the illegal alien population -- 350,000
with 73,200 (31.6%) of that annual increase taking up residence in
California . So, by 2003, the illegal alien population would have
increased to over eight million.

The method by which the INS arrived at this estimate was based on data
collected as a result of the 1986 amnesty and then relied on Census
data and INS legal immigration data and airline arrival/departure
records for updating the estimate. The estimate included only aliens
who continued to reside illegally in the United States for more than
one year. Left out of the estimate were aliens doing seasonal work
illegally in the United States and all aliens during the first year of
overstaying the terms of an authorized nonimmigrant entry, as well
groups of illegal alien residents who were issued work permits under
programs such as Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

The 2000 Census, like all previous censuses, made no attempt to
determine the immigration status of foreign-born residents.
Nevertheless, the results of the Census did contribute to a re-
evaluation of the size of the illegal alien population. Most analysts
agree that the illegal alien population now numbers more than 10-11
million persons as is shown below.
The first estimates that challenged the INS estimates appeared from
labor force researchers at Northeastern University .[1] They estimated
in 2001 that the illegal alien population could be as large as 11
million. They later revised that estimate upward to 12 million.

The director of the Census Bureau, when asked about the much higher
estimate of the illegal alien population agreed that the 2000 Census
data indicated that the illegal alien estimate of the INS was too low,
but did not offer a different estimate.

In the August 2001 issue of Demography, immigration researchers
estimated the current total population of illegal aliens at 7.1
million, of whom 3.9 million were Mexicans. Also in August, a
demographer at the Urban Institute issued an estimate that the illegal
alien population was 8.5 million, with 4.5 million of them being
Mexican.

The Census Bureau issued an estimate in January 2002 that the illegal
alien population in 2000 was 8,705,421. That estimate was based on the
discrepancy between the number of foreign-born residents and the
number of legally admitted immigrants. Included in that number may be
aliens residing in the United States under provisions that preclude
their deportation, but who are not legal permanent residents, such as
beneficiaries of Section 245(i) petitions, or asylees who have not
been in the country long enough for adjustment of status, or Central
American beneficiaries of the NACARA legislation. The Census Bureau
estimate is preliminary and subject to modification after review of
the methodology by interested parties.

An independent estimate by analysts of the bear-Stearns investment
firm said the illegal alien population "...may be as high as 20 million
people."[2] This estimate dismisses lower official estimates as being
flawed by the non-response of illegal alien to census takers. However,
this conclusion misses the fact that the official estimates are
instead based on a comparison between the growth in the foreign-born
population and new legal immigrant arrivals. This allows the trend in
the illegal alien population to be observed despite non-response in
the Census.

TIME Magazine in a feature article in 2004 published an estimate of
three million illegal aliens arriving each year.[3] However, that
estimate was based on a mistaken assumption that a million illegal
aliens are being apprehended each year and three times as many avoid
apprehension. The actual number of persons apprehended is considerably
lower than one million because the same individual often may be
apprehended multiple times during the year.

The following table shows estimates of the illegal alien population by
state by the INS, DHS[4] and the Pew Hispanic Center[5] as well as the
current estimates by FAIR. (Numbers are thousands).

Amnesty proposals for granting legal residence to these illegal aliens
take various forms, and the number of proposed beneficiaries vary
depending on the proposal. For example, in the 1986 general amnesty,
illegal aliens other than those in agricultural work were eligible
only if they had been living in the United States for four years
(since 1982). Thus, the nearly three million beneficiaries did not
include illegal aliens who had arrived during the previous four years
(unless they presented fraudulent evidence of having arrived earlier,
as many of them did).

Although the number of illegal aliens in the country can only be
estimated, and it is unclear what form currently proposed amnesty
provisions might take, it is safe from the above analysis to conclude
that any new amnesty would likely involve as many as four times as
many illegal aliens as benefited from the 1986 amnesty.

Thank you, John. My ancestors started arriving here in the 1630s, and
they were certainly illegal immigrants as far as the people who had been
here for more centuries than anyone can be sure of of. My ancestors,
though, were not quite as considerate as the recent immigrants; they
just killed the ones who were here first. I might add that the
immigrants that so many are concerned about have racial ties to those my
ancestors killed. I would be in favor of decent immigration laws that
would allow anyone without a criminal record to come here, work, and go
through the citizenship process, but PLEASE! no walls, no fences, no
prosecution of humanitarians to provide food, water and medical care to
those in trouble in the desert Southwest. I would much rather import
people than import so many necessities for life from other countries.

this post will put me in dozens of killfiles; no need to tell me, as I
expect it.
