A new report says nearly 8 million immigrants came to the United States in the past five years -- more than any other five-year period in history -- and that nearly half of them were illegal aliens.
As of March, there were 35.2 million legal immigrants and illegal aliens in the United States, according to the report, released yesterday by the Center for Immigration Studies.
"Contrary to public perception, immigration hasn't really slowed. The last five years' total are the highest ever," said Steven A. Camarota, author of the report, which is based on Census Bureau data.
