How Many Illegal Aliens are in the U.S.?

The Social Contract Press

Press Conference and panel, National Press Club, October 3, 2007

Census Bureau estimates of the number of illegals in the U.S. are suspect and may represent significant undercounts. The studies presented by these authors show that the numbers of illegal aliens in the U.S. could range from 20 to 38 million.

On October 3, 2007, a press conference and panel discussion was hosted by The Social Contract and Californians for Population Stabilization to discuss alternative methodologies for estimating the true numbers of illegal aliens residing in the United States.

This is a presentation of five panelists presenting at the National Press Club, Washington, D.C. on October 3, 2007 (see more information).

For complete articles on the topic, see the Summer, 2007 issue of The Social Contract.

The presentations are broken into a series of five video segments that you can view below.
