There are 11 million

American countries. 80% have been living in the US for more than 5 years. 80%
are over age 18. 40% are unmarried. 40% have not graduated from high school. 55%

California has a total
of 10 million immigrants and reports that 2.5 million are undocumented. There
may actually be well over 3 million in California.
Other States with high
illegal immigrant populations have included Texas, Florida, New York, New
Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, Arizona, Virginia and Maryland.
Sanctuary cities and
counties abound across the US. City Councils and County Commissions need to
repeal these actions to comply with federal law.
