Here's a 'politically incorrect' perspective:

A quick on line search popped some numbers that sort of made me blink.

"Estimates of the size of the illegal alien population currently living in the U.S. range from about 12 million to over 20 million."

The only states of our fifty that exceed or even come close to the lower number are California, Texas, Florida, New York,(exceed) Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio (come close).

Splitting the difference and going with 16 million, that's more than the combined populations of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah.

I dunno what to think about this, I truly don't. 

We've got an ILLEGAL population that out-numbers all but seven of our fifty states.

Mexico's population is about 122.3 million. Canada's is about 35.16. 

Huh. 

If ten percent of our 320 million just up and go to Canada (I heard they have better health care) we'd almost double their population. Not that we will. But if we did ... I don't think anybody has to wonder much what kind of reaction there would be. We might try to make all of them stop saying 'Eh' because it annoys us; if they objected we could just move another percent or two on up on our behalf and have them out-numbered so we could pass a law stating that saying 'Eh' is henceforth illegal.

They might get so fed up with us that they'd move to Mexico and we'd have us a fine game of musical countries.

Okay, maybe I'm a little feverish from that god-awful medicine.


Hopefully I'll be back to my normal self soon and stop thinking about trivial things so I can focus on which shoes I'm going to wear to work.
