        Yeah, if you lump "hispanics" into one group then illegal immigrants from Canada are probably number 2.

          Not even close, Sloww. Even if you lump all the Hispanic illegals together (which does seem pretty silly; it's not like Guatemala and Argentina present similar problems here), there are significantly more Chinese, Indian, and Filipino illegal immigrants in the US than there are illegal Canadians -- and by significantly, I mean 3x-4x as many.

              I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

                I can't find any recent estimates from reliable sources on the number of Canadians resident illegally in the US.

                My guess is that it is much more difficult to measure their numbers accurately because they are likely to stay in the US for a shorter period of time (I would guess that they're not likely to be in the US for reasons of full-time employment; that much of this population is young and transient).

                The most recent credible numbers for country of origin of illegal immigrants in the US are here:

                • Get in line. It's a long one. What makes you so special that you should line-jump your average Philippina nurse or Indian code-jockey?
                  Or Canadian teachers.

                            You used the word "Texas" and "sensible" in the same sentence?!? Accountants are sensible. Risk-management analysts are sensible. Driving under the speed limit and signaling for turns is sensible.

                            Texans are not sensible. They have style. They have swagger. They have panache. --But don't ever say the word "panache" to a Texan, or he'll beat you up.

                              Best numbers I've seen put the illegal Canadian population at 50-75k.
