Even so, the number is accurate, as estimates are generally fairly close to one another of the numbers of people here "illegally" without expired visas. Anyway that you chop it, and my point all along, the majority of "illegals" in the U.S. are here from Europe and not Mexico.

Would that 50,000 be a "drop in the bucket" if they were of another color of skin?
