Reading through the various posts and graphs presented here, one big thought occurs to me. ...
I just wish the US would track illegal aliens with the same level of granularity that I see in some of the charts and figures here. In the US they round off to the nearest ten thousand, and the aggregate totals are like 50x (or more) the numbers being shown in this thread on an annual basis.
I don't mean to diminish the issue in the UK; it's a serious issue no matter where it occurs, but when you compare the numbers of illegals entering America compared to that of the UK, the differences are staggering! Disgusting even, on an almost incomprehensible scale.
