MEXICO CITY - Mexico says 11.8 million of its citizens now live in the United States.

Immigration official Ana Teresa Aranda says some 580,000 Mexican nationals emigrate each year.

She told an immigration forum Wednesday that 98 percent of Mexicans who live abroad reside in the United States, and 21.5 percent of those have U.S. citizenship.
Mexico has a long tradition of emigration to the U.S., although illegal crossings have slowed in recent years.

Some 85 percent of all immigrants working in U.S. agriculture and fishing are Mexican, along with 56 percent of those who work in construction and maintenance.

Well, it's 12 million too many!

Well, I think the number is much higher, more like 20 million. That doesn't event count in the Mexicans they still have with dual citizenship.

Don't they mean a long law-breaking pattern?

Why would we believe these numbers given to us by Mexico???

I'm sure we have at least 12M right here in CA! The population in CA is 40M, and I'm sure at least 1/3 of them are illegals!!!

I think a serious recount is in order!

I think it is more well over 30 million....and I think dual citizenship should come to a halt...just which country has their loyality?

How long have we heard there are around 12 million? Seems like it's been that for years, at least through the lamestream media.

Also have heard the estimates are from 12-20 million. So obviously no one knows for sure. And with such astronomical numbers it's a great big guess. Amazing!

I passed 12 million on the San Diego freeway yesterday.
