Editorial: Pope to visit U.S. Border: How many people are the Vatican OR Mexico allowing into their own countries?

Editorial

In an event that is getting scant coverage outside of the U.S. southwest, the Pope is going to visit the border town of Juarez, which is across from El Paso, TX. It had been reported that the pope might cross the border with some undocumented workers, although now that is unlikely.

However, he is planning to denounce the U.S. for immigration restrictions at the border from Mexico's side. What restrictions? The U.S. allows over 1 million legal immigrants per year, plus visa holders, plus the illegal ones who are a result of lack of enforcement.  This comes to at least 3 million per year, 30 million per decade, about a 10 percent increase of the nation's population in a decade.

How many people are the Vatican OR Mexico allowing into their own countries?
