"Flowing across the border by millions?"
I have my answer, Kaz. You have never been to the Mexican border.

30 million illegals is a more realistic figure. They've been claiming 11 million illegals for the last 15 years.
Yeah I'm pretty doubtful of that 11 million too.
of course you are, the more ghost illegals the stronger you delusion becomes.
classic crapspiracy stuff.
