How Many Of Us Are There?

AND HOW MANY OF US ARE “LEGAL?”

|| By FITSNEWS || There are 7,254,682,762 people on planet earth right now.  And 321,238,540 people in America.  Or so says the U.S. Census Bureau’s real-time “Pop Clock,” which tracks the growth in U.S. and global population in … well … real-time.

A new baby is born in the United States every eight seconds, while every thirteen seconds someone dies in our country.

Giveth … taketh.

Oh, and in news sure to draw the attention of 2016 presidential candidate Donald Trump – an “international migrant” enters America every 33 seconds (an uptick over previous years).  Add it all up and you’ve got America adding a person to its ranks every twelve seconds.

Despite its slowing birth rate, America remains the world’s third-most populous nation – well ahead of Indonesia (256 million) but trailing China (roughly 1.4 billion) and India (roughly 1.3 billion).

A whopping 11.7 million people (3.5 percent of the nation’s population) are in the United States illegally – according to estimates released in 2013.  That’s down from a 2007 peak of 12.2 million (4 percent of the nation’s population).  Of those, roughly half – around six million – are Mexicans.

What caused the drop in 2007 and 2008?  The recession …

Still, no one is exactly sure how large the illegal immigrant population really is.

“It could be 12 million or 13 million,” Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, told The Wall Street Journal back in March.  “It doesn’t seem like it could be 15 million or 20 million.”

Ah, experts …

Do you feel that? Not sure what it is. Its history dropping the curtain on you and your kind. You are old, dying dinosaurs on a path to extinction; and the end is near. You always lash out at those you fear, especially as the end approaches. To the next generation you will not even be a memory. Heck you want even be a mention in the dusty flag museum. All the next generation will remember about 2016, is that was the year the the first female was elected elected President of the United States.

Grandpa Jones: Doc, I’m marring an 18 year old girl.
Doc: A man your age with a girl that young? That could cause death.
Grandpa Jones: Well, if she dies, She dies.

A hillbilly brings back his bride to her father the day after the wedding. “What’s the matter, Zeke? Weren’t she a virgin?” “Wal,” says Zeke, “I dunno. That up and down motion may come natural, but that round-and-round motion was learned!”

A foolish bridegroom is told by his mother, “Tonight, when you go to bed, put your hand on Mary’s head and feel down until you come to the first hole. Then put your hand on your head and feel down till you come to the first long thing. Then take the long thing and shove it into the hole hard.” The fool feels down his wife’s head and along her back until he comes to her anus, then down his own face until he comes to her nose. He promptly plunges his head under the covers and makes connection. “Sure is fun’ , he exclaims, coming up for air, “only it smells kind of spoiled.”

I see the front porch light I had turned on that night.
And I see the neighbor was out in his yard smoking a cigarette.

There are too many. The earth needs a good plague, something that’ll wipe out about 40% of the population.

Camarota is trying to explain for a lay observer what the margin of errors on these numbers is. Your “Ah, experts..” reply indicates that by actually explaining what the numbers mean he has caused you to treat them as less credible. By contrast, an “expert” who pretended the numbers were perfect and never pulled back the curtain you would have considered reliable? Interesting approach.
