population of 35.000 not correct

I really don't think anyone actually living on SXM thinks that our island French and Dutch population is 35.000.
One has to take the amount of illegal immmigrants into consideration on both sides of the island as well.
Then, take also the daily visitors from cruise ships into consideration as they also add to the desnity, even if it is for a day. Island tours by taxi, large tour busses, jeep and humvie convoy, motor bike convoy.
I cannot remember when the last census was, but I do think it might be time for another one soon.
Also, I remember reading a very interesting piece coming out of Marigot recently, President Fleming said that youth issues have to be discussed and in the same breath he mentioned that the French side hospital had something like 145 births in the month of January.
Does anyone know how many births we had at the Medical Center in the month of January?
