Frank,
I had already noticed that about "illegal immigrants". In the US it's an anagram of "illegals", though I recall it used to be the phrase you quoted with Mexicans inserted ad lib. Did they invade Mexico? I can't recall that far back - maybe they did.
While on anagrams, "twelve plus one" is an anagram of "eleven plus two". This comes of reading Colin Dexter's books about Inspector Morse.
Hugh.
