of the world accounted for the rest. It also goes on to state that since 1992, undocumented workers have entered the US
between 400,000 and 700,000 per year. Since 1986, more than 12 million undocumented workers have entered the US, despite the severe sanctions of the Immigration Reform and Control Act. Instead of eliminating undocumented workers entering the US, it appears that Reagan's bill actually increased the process.

While nearly every American has an opinion about the influx of foreigners without proper documentation, few understand why.

Here is but an excerpt from one of the thousands of extremist websites that proclaim that Mexico
is intent on conquering the United States:

standing idly by and watching. Let's consider the following:

300 million Americans live in the United States. The entire Mexican undocumented population is less than seven million. The United States
possesses the most potent and lethal armed military in the world. They have thousands more nuclear warheads than any other nation on Earth. They have the Marines, Army, Navy, Air Force and National Guard stationed in every state in the US
and by the thousands. The US
possesses the highest level of technology to inflict the greatest amount of damage on anyone anywhere. Yet these yo-yos
