Well, Pete, Reuter's thinks you're wrong by a few million:

Well, when Reuter's explains how they get their number, then we can discuss
that. Until then, the US Census Bureau seems to have a pretty good handle
on things:

Even accounting for an estimated 1.8 million added since 2000, that's only 9
million. In any case, even if you believe Reuter's, the numbers are ALL in
the same ballpark, and not anywhere close to Montblack's claims.

I wonder how they estimate the number of illegal aliens? It's not like
they're standing around, asking to be counted.

They use a very similar process to that used to count the rest of us. Do
you stand around, asking to be counted?

If you really care about the details, it's all in the report. Read it. You
might learn something.
