120. So is the majority of the world.
The reality is that we can't provide for them here without some sort of restrictions (that's known as immigration law).

How many unskilled illegal immigrants are you willing to personally house, feed, clothe, employ and provide medical services for? I understand the sympathy issue, but this country cannot grant these people amnesty for two simple reasons:

1) We can't afford it, and

2) doing so would undermine our efforts to have others abide by the process and become legal U.S. residents and/or citizens.


In a perfect world we could provide for all of those in need. This isn't a perfect world.
