A new study just released by the Public Policy Institute of California has estimated that there are 563,000 illegal aliens living in the San Francisco Bay area.

Researchers largely relied on the tax return data of those who used an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, which is reserved for taxpayers who do not have a Social Security number.

The study found that within the Bay area, Santa Clara County has the most illegal aliens with 180,000, followed by Alameda County with 124,000 and Contra Costa County with 79,000.

The Public Policy Institute of California also estimates the total illegal alien population of California to be 2.9 million.

The study lists the following counties and corresponding illegal populations (all figures are based on 2008 data): Advertisement

-Los Angeles…916,000

-Orange…289,000

-San Diego…198,000

-Santa Clara…180,000

-San Bernardino…150,000

-Riverside…146,000

-Alameda…124,000

-Contra Costa…79,000

-Ventura…74,000

-Sacramento…65,000

-Monterey/San Benito…62,000

The “sanctuary” policies of San Francisco and Los Angeles undoubtedly play a tremendous role in contributing to the large illegal alien presence in both areas.

2.9 million illegal aliens all eating at the trough of the excessive profligacy of free-for-all public services, programs, its toll on the quality of life, the huge deficit woes that threaten its very existence.

Is there anything left to say...

[cripplecreek]

500,000 is nearly enough for a congressional district alone.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

“Is there anything left to say...”....Yes

Sprechen sie Spanish?.....

I grew up in Santa Clara County. SO glad I don’t live there (or anywhere else in California) any more.

The Public Policy Institute of California also estimates the total illegal alien population of California to be 2.9 million.

I'll go with that figure. 500,000 seems to low. Especially when it's based on some tax indicator, which under reporting would be obvious for obvious reasons. Obviously.

“Researchers largely relied on the tax return data of those who used an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, which is reserved for taxpayers who do not have a Social Security number.”

Illegal aliens do not file tax returns in order to pay income taxes. They do file tax returns so that they can get the taxpayer indentification number. One person can file multiple tax returns and and get multiple TIN’s. They were used with great “success” for mortgage fraud. The mainstream media ran lots of stories about undocumented immigrants voluntarily paying income tax. It was all BS.

And these are among the ‘americans’ that those appeasers among us say holding the debt limit and not spending more than you make will force undue hardship upon....really? Let’s go further...maybe we can make these people thing friggin Mexico is much better and go the hell home!

[The Toll]

Here lies The United States of America. Murdered by traitors.

[null and void]

Only 30,000 in the City and County of San Fransisco? I’m calling BS.

And what chaps my hide is that many store signs/ads/county bus ads,billboards, retail store indoor signs (like Home Depot) are now in spanish as well as english, cashiers speak spanish to hispanic customers. Went to the Alameda County Fair a few weeks ago and got a program which was written in spanish. I asked for an english version and wanted to know why they had even printed spanish ones - we speak english in this country.

///
great points.
and with EITC giving up to $9,000 for EACH identity...

people here illegally, getting BILLIONS of dollars,
from legal residents and citizens. this is treasonable.

and i would love to see an honest accurate estimate,
of the TOTAL cost of all benefits and costs of illegals.

Nancy Pelosi: Elitist liberal insulated from the world. Not her problem. Ours. When California is overrun completely, and the military has to invade to prevent ceding it to Mexico, all conservative FReepers remember to put a sign on your door with the letters FR. That way our soldiers will know that you are "saved" and move on to the next house.

[ArmstedFragg]

If you take a look at the San Francisco numbers, you’ll see that very few of those bay area ilegals are in San Francisco. They’re a sanctuary city in name only, not having to experience the actual consequences of being one. How convenient for the SF libs.

[KC_Lion]

You're smarter than you think Cripplecreek, that is EXCATLY the Plan! Even if the Illegals don't physically vote, the SEIU will do it for them.

[He Rides A White Horse]

As it is written, so it shall be done.

[cripplecreek]

I've already done some figuring.

Assuming there are 30 million illegals in America and it takes around 600,000 people to make a congressional district. That means there are enough illegals in America to make up more than 50 congressional districts.

These 4 states are made up of 51 congressional districts.
