This is disgraceful. Realize: the low end estimates are 12,000,000 illegal aliens in this country as high as 20,000,000! If anyone has more recent statistics, I would love to see them

California 1994 statistics

September 1996 Hans P. Johnson: Undocumented Immigration to California: 1980-1993 “…estimates developed in this report that include undercount adjustments range from 1,578,000 to 2,159,000…” pg 85 (in California for 1990 census) assume 1,868,500

Illegal alien prison population is tracked federally and makes up 22% of inmates So don't you go crying abou immigration offences are federal! They are not held for immigration crimes and are still over represented federally!
