Why?

And how undocumented do you mean?

There are plenty of illegal workers here, some came over on some kind of visa and over stayed, others who did that were able to work initially but continues when authorisation ended. Then there are those who slinged over the border un-inspected.

They were anywhere and everywhere. Cash in hand picking fruit/veg, manual labour on construction. Even doing regular work, using someone else's identity to fill in the I-9 requirement.

I think a conservative estimate is 12m, but it is probably a lot higher. The border states e.g AZ, CA, NM have more than most, but any large city will have a significant illegal immigrant population.

As for "entitled to health care" I don't understand what you mean. It's fairly unlikely that your average illegal is paying health insurance, or receiving it through an employer, so no?.....

probably don't know lots of different things some of them yes by the way do you know how irritating it is when people just string together a stream of words without any punctuation makes it really difficult to understand what it is they are trying to say

You should feel free, in future posts, to actually use punctuation to improve the readability of your posts. I, being well educated, can figure out what you've said... but others will simply dismiss your post as nothing more than an annoyance!

You asked this very same question on the Canada forum.

Do you have a particular (peculiar?) interest in this subject?

One which I might add has been discussed to death.

I doubt you will find any in a Gentleman's Club. I can assure you that all the exotic, foreign women working in those places have O visas.

I remember when I first came over having that issue when trying to rent a 'tool'.

Which sounded worse to me.
