The population of illegal migrants is roughly 22 million, or twice the establishment estimate

The population of illegal migrants is roughly 22 million, or twice the establishment estimate of 11 million, say three professors from Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The shocking estimate will force establishment politicians and pro-migration advocates to recalculate the estimated impact of the huge illegal population on wages and salaries, on crime rates, welfare consumption, rental and real-estate prices, productivity rates, and the distribution of job-creating investment funds to coastal vs. heartland states.

The higher illegal population estimate helps explain why Americans’ wages and salaries have risen so little amid apparently record-low unemployment rates, and it also undercuts companies’ loud demands for yet more immigration of foreign workers, consumers, and renters. The population estimate also raises the political and economic stakes of any amnesty legislation. In 2014, public opposition blocked the bipartisan, establishment, media-boosted Gang of Eight bill, which claimed to offer an amnesty to just 11 million migrants. Currently, advocates for a ‘Dream Act’ amnesty claim it will provide green cards to roughly 3 million sons and daughters of illegal immigrants.

The new estimate also bolsters President Donald Trump’s demand that reluctant GOP and hostile Democratic legislators fund a border wall.

Are they using the Puerto Rico hurricane dead-people model?

You can’t prove the 11-million number, nor the 22-million number. You can’t even prove how many dead people are registered to vote.

I agree that 22 million understates the number. If you accept 22 million that is 20 congressional seats. Each seat is 711,000 from what I have found. So a high illegal state like California is stealing congressional districts from other states. If the illegals are counted in the census.

Part of the con behind these claims is that if any amnesty is ever granted, then there is no mechanism in the proposed law to limit the number to “only” 11 million, or 3 million.

The politicians promise 11 million, but what happens when 30 million, or more, apply for amnesty?

Create a “Non Voting Citizen” and let them in. The Rats will drop them like a hot rock.

Illegals will soon outnumber blacks in this nation.

A new powerful voting block to replace blacks that have “woke” to being used by the Democrats

It’s the corrupt liberal ‘judges’ who have opened the door to millions of these illegals - and kept us from sending them home. When we take back the Supreme Court much of this insanity will end.

There was a Mexican political candidate (Mexican AG?) Who said in a US interview this past Sunday, that there were 25 million Meskins in the US.

I would estimate about 90 million, since they’re EVERYWHERE.

Whatever the number, and whatever their countries of origin, they all need to be sent back home. No exceptions.

This article, states that 66 million aren’t speaking English at home...

https://www.rt.com/usa/438883-66mn-residents-speak-foreign-language/

So, simple math states that the number of immigrants(illegal and legal) and refugees is closer to what? 100 million. WOW!!!!!!!!!

If we don’t end the BS refugee programs, stop immigration entirely, it’s over, folks. The American Experiment is over. This country will look like something out of the Hunger Games or Divergent w/in the next few decades. And with the feminization of American males and the Radical Liberal Progressive Indoctrination of kids everywhere, there ain’t nothing stopping it from happening.

I have to agree. I firmly believe that after Kavanaugh gets on SCOTUS, RBG will not last very long. She can barely stay awake for an interview and I think the stress will have her being carried out on a stretcher. I’m sure you and I will be sad ... NOPE, NOT ME!!!

I think there’s a good chance he can get one more pick before his first term is out. If so, in the words of Maximus...he’s going to UNLEASH HELL.

The case used to support Birthright Citizenship deals with a kid born to parents that were in the US, legally. Not illegals that popped out a kid in a US hospital. Unfortunately, that little tidbit is ignored by the courts, elected officials and bureaucrats, who need a Dem Voter replacements.

But, I think he’s really going to flip over the cart if he gets his picks.
