The population of illegal aliens already in the United States has been estimated at 12-20 million, with a crowd of another two million arriving each year, including thousands through the lengthy and largely remote border Pima County, Ariz., shares with Mexico.
That's where I live, BTW.
One activist says the reason is the power structure in the county actually endorses such immigration – because the workers provide a source of low-cost labor for the region's booming construction industry, and what's good for business is what's good for everyone. But Roy Warden objects to the premise, believing the illegals are exploited in Mexico before they leave, they are blackmailed on their way into the U.S., and they are exploited after they arrive.
