The numbers.

2,550,000 illegal aliens

6.9% of the population


9.3 percent of the labor force

1,750,000 illegally employed.

It calculates out that almost 69% of illegals are working. What might the breakdown be for families and others whoaren't officially employed, such as street vendors and others?

Would this take into account that "vibrant" downtown section of LA where vendors of bacon wrapped hot dogs and sellers of women's "push up" pants have been boycotting the LA sales tax long before Villaraigosa and La city hall boycotted Arizona?

It would be nice to have an explanation as to how they arrived at their figures, particularly when people who hide their status are deemed Uncountable?
