A report by an organization that supports tougher immigration enforcement and border security found that the nation’s illegal-immigrant population has increased 88 percent in the past seven years.
But the report by the Washington-based Federation for American Immigration Reform found that Virginia’s population of illegal immigrants is tens of thousands lower than estimates by the Pew Hispanic Center.
About 13 million illegal immigrants are in the country, according to the report. Widely used estimates have been 12 million.”*
