The Department of Homeland Security yesterday said there are more than 11 million illegal aliens living and working in the United States, up from 8.5 million in 2000 -- a 24 percent jump with an expected annual growth of more than 408,000.
According to a report by the department's Office of Immigration Statistics, the vast majority of the illegals -- nearly 6 million -- came to the United States from Mexico, followed by El Salvador, Guatemala, India and China with a combined total of about 1.4 million.
