Yeah, 750,000 (or 70,000) really pales in comparison to the number of documented Mexicans in the US. In other words, this just reinforces my understanding that there is no great trend, that the stat is certainly true but woefully out of context and not indicative of any great trend. I'm also not sure how 750,000 'grew to more than 70,000.' Let's be honest, really. America has lots of faults but people are still dying to get here and we absolutely don't have a problem getting more people to move here or with retaining local talent. There are about 12,000,000 documented Mexicans living or working in the US.
