"The Center for Immigration Studies ( CIS ) is a highly regarded independent, non-partisan, non-profit Washington D.C. based research organization founded in 1985.
Its mission is to expand the base of public knowledge and understanding of the need for an immigration policy by providing research and policy analysis of the economic, social, demographic, and fiscal aspects of immigration on the United States.
CIS provides a variety of services for policymakers, journalists, and academics, including an e-mail news service, a monthly Backgrounder series and other publications, congressional testimony, and public briefings."

Acording to my post earlier..statement is from the Center for Immigration Studies.
"There are an estimated 47 million persons on the U.S. without health insurance. Illegal immigrants and their U.S.-born children make up 8.3 million of that uninsured number, according to the Center for Immigration Studies."
Sorry, I'm not buying it. I don't doubt for a minute there are millions of illegals in our country but just my quick reading of how some of the numbers were arrived at convinces me that a group like CIS (funded in part by Richard Melon Scaife btw) would not be above manipulating the numbers to fit a desired outcome.
