I ask because we have an estimated 10 million illegal Mexican immigrants in the U.S. today. I don't know of any country with more people crossing its borders each year illegally to live and work there.

Tracy,

The mere fact that they are illegal makes it rather difficult to count them, doesn't it ? But aside of that - on a EU scale - i'm afraid we might arrive at simular figures.
If they are legal they oc receive the same benefits as indigenous people.
If they are illegal they will receive medical care fe but risk being put on a plane afterwards <s>

A+
