424. Probably
Statistics on how many people have illegally immigrated here since 2004 are difficult to come by. It's always based on some degree of guess work. However, many observers have stated that the flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. increased once Bush announced his "guest worker" proposals and his "earned amnesty" proposals.

I suspect there has been an increase since 2004, based on news reports of increased border crossing activity. There certainly is no reason to think it has declined, considering the increased prospects of guest worker programs and earned amnesty proposals being espoused by Bush. He's certainly sending a message to illegal immigrants that their chances of being able to stay in the U.S. have increased.
