The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has estimated that 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the United States in January 2012. According to DHS estimates, "the number of illegal immigrants peaked around 12 million in 2007 and has gradually declined to closer to 11 million."

It's no joke that the Southern Border is one of the most unauthorised borders in the world. The levels of illegal immigration are staggering. Not to mention, Clinton wants to reform immigration and make it so illegals can get citizenship.

"Hillary will introduce comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to full and equal citizenship within her first 100 days in office"
