"Believing is great but keep it where it belongs, in the church." Taro, don't you ever read or watch the news? It isn't like this has exactly been kept hidden, although they haven't been making a big deal of it. This article is typical, more people are authorized, but no money is allocated, if the budget itself isn't cut. sfgate.com McCain has complained about it repeatedly. mccain.senate.gov And so on.

re: Links, please! pewhispanic.org As of March 2004, there were an estimated 10.3 million unauthorized migrants living in the United States. A comparison to past estimates derived with the same methodology shows that the undocumented population has grown rapidly in recent years. There were 8.4 million unauthorized migrants living in the United States in April 2000 according to estimates derived from Census 2000 (Passel, Van Hook, and Bean 2004). Thus, average annual growth over the 4-year period since 2000 was about 485,000 per year. Assuming this rate of growth held steady, the best estimate for March 2005 points to a figure of somewhat less than 11 million for the number of undocumented residents. Next time do your own research. BTW, still think it's great that immigration is at a 15 year low? <no link on that either> John
