Here comes dat Q!

Hey all

BIG IDEA

I thought of a way to indirectly calculate the number of illegals in America.

IF there are stats on babies born to illegals by year

Take that number, say 1000 babies (way low)

Family size is a very cultural thing. Take the birth rate of Mexicans, Hondorians, Guantamaleans, and average it out. (or do a weighted average based on suspected distribution)

Now, just do the reverse algebra.

If the birthrate is 2%, as in, 2% of Mexican Women have babies every year in Mexico, then if 1000 babies are born to an illegal mother in America, then there is upwards to 50,000 illegal women here (1000 / 0.02 = 50,000). We can assume most would come with a male? So add another 50,000 males for 100,000 total. Stats and common sense say more men come illegally than women so you can give more bias to the men and say there's 70k men 50k women for 120k estimate.

I dont have the time to do this, nor do I know where to fish these stats. Just a datafag who heard about illegals wasting tax money by giving birth in american hospitals and this idea hit me hard.

Who's down for giving this a try???
