None of these issues looms so large as to distract from the central issue: Should the U.S. provide a legal embrace of 11 million residents who broke the law to make the U.S. their home? But the added fiscal costs, tied in large part to ObamaCare, could intensify the political battle over spending.

That 11 million number is about as accurate as the unemployment rate, the CPI, and the GDP.

Multiple studies place the number of illegals 30 - 40 million and growing. Not all illegals tromp across the border. Many are visa over stays. This is how those in STEM fields get to compete with illegal for jobs.

What a great system. lower job opportunities, lower salaries and increased taxes for tax payers !!!
