The Hard Truth

Every organization admits that the statistics below are probably low and could be as much as double the amounts shown.  This is especially true of the statistics on children, as there are between 20 to 40 million undocumented children born every year.  Also, many of the statistics are outdated, and thus most of these satistics have increased.
