    Yeah, this guy is an all American hero. The only thing he cares about is his own fat ass.

    Yeah, you would think an innocent man would want to clear this up as soon as possible. Even if the lower courts were really corrupt he should be able to count on the not so Supreme court he packed.

    It can't cross the border - the border is secure.

    Of course it is. Look at all the work the retrumplicans are doing in Congress to secure it. Oh, wait. HqwHawHaw!

    It's not like the retrumplicans haven't done anything. They have been grandstanding on the issue with a border bill that has no chance of passing. As usual they can't find any way to find common ground with the Democrats, so they just stand by
    and wring their hands. Shit, if they compromise it might look like Biden won one.

    "May 11, 2023
    House Republicans pushed through a sweeping border security bill on Thursday that would crack down on unlawful immigration, blowing past solid Democratic opposition and narrowly avoiding an embarrassing mutiny within their own ranks on one of their
    signature midterm campaign promises.

    Republicans timed approval of the measure, which has no chance in the Democratic-led Senate, to spotlight their hard-line stance on immigration just as President Biden is facing a potential border surge with Thursday night’s expiration of Title 42, the
    pandemic-era rule allowing for swift expulsion of migrants.

    The bill would revive and codify a variety of border policies championed during the Trump administration, including construction of a border wall, the “Remain in Mexico” practice of keeping migrants seeking asylum either in detention facilities or on
    the opposite side of the border and expedited deportation of unaccompanied children. It also would mandate that companies verify their employees are legally eligible to work in the United States through a program known as E-Verify, and criminalize visa
    overstays of more than 10 days.

    The 219-to-213 vote to pass the bill came only after months of internal Republican feuding capped by a final, marathon round of haggling this week that highlighted the party’s tenuous hold on its fractious majority and led to a series of last-minute
    changes to win over holdouts. Two Republicans, Representatives Thomas Massie of Kentucky and John Duarte of California, joined Democrats in opposing the legislation, citing objections to the E-Verify requirement.

    The Republican divisions had threatened to muddle a debate the party had timed for maximum political advantage, in which G.O.P. lawmakers denounced the Biden administration for rising waves of migration that are expected to surge further after Title 42
    expires."

    "https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/11/us/politics/house-republicans-immigration-bill.html"

    There are at least a couple of things worth noting here. For many years the majority of our undocumented immigrants are people who entered the country legally and overstayed their visa.

    The number of undocumented immigrants in this country has been relatively stable for a long time at around 12 million people.

    The king of google strikes again. If they are “undocumented” illegals (not immigrants) how does anyone know how many there are. Also, unless they are dying at an alarming rate after they get here, how can the numbers not be increasing? They are pouring over the border like water over a failed dam.

    I can’t believe liberals are that ignorant. Especially the self-described all-seeing, all-knowing, all googling, Señor smoke and mirrors.

    I'm getting lazy in my old age. I used to provide links to all my sources right up front. As it turns out that's more information than most dweebs want. I get a lot of complaints about my cut and paste style. Oh well, you can't please everyone.
    This is my source:

    https://cis.org/Report/Estimating-Illegal-Immigrant-Population-Using-Current-Population-Survey

    Late in the last century I used to be a regular participant in discussions of these issues on alt.mexico. I enjoyed it because we got a nice mix of Mexicans and immigration hardliners. Before I became familiar with the border I was pretty much a
    hardliner myself. I still am in many ways. But, not as hardline as the people who wanted to use landmines and machine guns to secure the border. The hardliners pointed me to numbers, with sources, that were probably more accurate than the one I was using
    at the time. IIRC that number was around 12 million.

    One of the fun things about the CIS estimate is the big dip from 2019 until 2021. And then the dip filled back in very quickly, without most of us noticing any change.

    A government shut down is always a good thing
    regardless of which side you are on.

    I can't articulate my own opinion, because I've
    been diagnosed by our resident psychiatrist with
    having problems with the English language, so I'll
    just say that's a pretty good - and pleasantly
    concise - description of my opinion also.


    I wonder what it's like to be all-knowing, all-seeing
    and a Google expert?

    I don't know. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to
    figure that out, because a lot of the tools in my
    toolbox have been lost or stolen - which is only part
    of the problem because I seem to have also transitorily
    misplaced my table.


    What!? You haven't asked LLaMA?

    I've become moderately disillusioned with LLaMa - it acts
    and performs a lot like some Real People in here. And you
    should at least try to spell its self-identified name
    correctly. If it should happen to crawl RORT and see your
    blatant disrespect, it might go find a safe space.

    Yeah, right. That's why even Democrat mayors and governors are
    starting to complain and ask for money?

    Then there's this: ----------------------------------------------------------------
    ...
    Figure 3. There is a lot of variation from month to month, but the foreign-born population grew much more slowly during Trump's
    presidency than during Obama's or Biden's. (January 2010 to February
    2022, in millions)
    ...
    Conclusion

    We estimate that in January 2019, the number of illegal immigrants in
    the country was 11.48 million, similar to DHS’s estimate of 11.39
    million for 2018. By January 2021, we estimate the number had dropped
    to 10.22 million as a result of travel restrictions and other policies
    imposed as a result of Covid-19 and perhaps the deterioration in the
    U.S. economy. The number then rebounded to 11.35 million by January
    2022 — a 1.13 million increase since President Biden took office at
    the beginning of 2021. This means that growth in the illegal immigrant population accounted for very roughly two-thirds of the 1.6 million
    increase in the total foreign-born population (legal and illegal
    immigrants together) in President Biden’s first year in office
    (January 2021 to January 2022). The share of growth in the total
    foreign-born population accounted for by illegal immigrants is even
    larger if we compare the number in January 2021 to our preliminary
    February 2022 estimate of 11.46 million. What’s more, the total
    foreign-born population reached 46.7 million in February of this year,
    a new record high in American history.

    While the large swings in the illegal-immigrant population may seem
    unlikely, we find indirect evidence in the monthly CPS that the number
    of illegal immigrants fell between 2019 and 2021 and then grew
    dramatically by 2022. The number of both non-citizens and non-citizen Hispanics declined then rebounded over this time period. Changes in
    these populations should be highly correlated with trends in the illegal-immigrant population. We think the recent increase in illegal immigrants reflects policy changes by the Biden administration and the lessening of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the recovery of the
    economy.

    Well, you just sent Captain Google scrambling for something he can rebut
    with. I still say it's impossible to know the number of undocumented
    alien democrat voters in this country. Estimates are just that and it
    depends on who is doing the estimating. Of course the libs' estimate
    will be lower or unchanging over the years but anyone with half a brain
    knows that's impossible... just over the past two years.

    haggling this week that highlighted the party’s tenuous hold on
    its fractious majority and led to a series of last-minute changes
    to win over holdouts. Two Republicans, Representatives Thomas
    Massie of Kentucky and John Duarte of California, joined Democrats
    in opposing the legislation, citing objections to the E-Verify
    requirement.

    The Republican divisions had threatened to muddle a debate the
    party had timed for maximum political advantage, in which G.O.P.
    lawmakers denounced the Biden administration for rising waves of

    expires."

    There are at least a couple of things worth noting here. For many
    years the majority of our undocumented immigrants are people who
    entered the country legally and overstayed their visa.

    The number of undocumented immigrants in this country has been
    relatively stable for a long time at around 12 million people.

    Yeah, right. That's why even Democrat mayors and governors are starting
    to complain and ask for money?

    Then there's this: ----------------------------------------------------------------
    ...
    Figure 3. There is a lot of variation from month to month, but the foreign-born population grew much more slowly during Trump's presidency than during Obama's or Biden's. (January 2010 to February 2022, in millions)
    ...
    Conclusion

    We estimate that in January 2019, the number of illegal immigrants in
    the country was 11.48 million, similar to DHS’s estimate of 11.39 million for 2018. By January 2021, we estimate the number had dropped to 10.22 million as a result of travel restrictions and other policies imposed as a result of Covid-19 and perhaps the deterioration in the
    U.S. economy. The number then rebounded to 11.35 million by January 2022 — a 1.13 million increase since President Biden took office at the beginning of 2021. This means that growth in the illegal immigrant population accounted for very roughly two-thirds of the 1.6 million increase in the total foreign-born population (legal and illegal immigrants together) in President Biden’s first year in office (January 2021 to January 2022). The share of growth in the total foreign-born population accounted for by illegal immigrants is even larger if we compare the number in January 2021 to our preliminary February 2022 estimate of 11.46 million. What’s more, the total foreign-born population reached 46.7 million in February of this year, a new record high in American history.

    While the large swings in the illegal-immigrant population may seem unlikely, we find indirect evidence in the monthly CPS that the number
    of illegal immigrants fell between 2019 and 2021 and then grew dramatically by 2022. The number of both non-citizens and non-citizen Hispanics declined then rebounded over this time period. Changes in
    these populations should be highly correlated with trends in the illegal-immigrant population. We think the recent increase in illegal immigrants reflects policy changes by the Biden administration and the lessening of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the recovery of the economy.

    Well, you just sent Captain Google scrambling for something he can rebut with. I still say it's impossible to know the number of undocumented
    alien democrat voters in this country. Estimates are just that and it depends on who is doing the estimating. Of course the libs' estimate
    will be lower or unchanging over the years but anyone with half a brain knows that's impossible... just over the past two years.

    A government shut down is always a good thing
    regardless of which side you are on.

    I can't articulate my own opinion, because I've
    been diagnosed by our resident psychiatrist with
    having problems with the English language, so I'll
    just say that's a pretty good - and pleasantly concise -
    description of my opinion also.


    I wonder what it's like to be all-knowing, all-seeing
    and a Google expert?

    I don't know. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to
    figure that out, because a lot of the tools in my
    toolbox have been lost or stolen - which is only part
    of the problem because I seem to have also transitorily
    misplaced my table.


    What!? You haven't asked LLaMA?

    I've become moderately disillusioned with LLaMa - it acts
    and performs a lot like some Real People in here. And you
    should at least try to spell its self-identified name
    correctly. If it should happen to crawl RORT and see your
    blatant disrespect, it might go find a safe space.


    As long as it doesn't cross the border illegally, it should
    be OK.

    It can't cross the border - the border is secure.

    Of course it is. Look at all the work the retrumplicans are doing
    in Congress to secure it. Oh, wait. HqwHawHaw!

    It's not like the retrumplicans haven't done anything. They have
    been grandstanding on the issue with a border bill that has no
    chance of passing. As usual they can't find any way to find common
    ground with the Democrats, so they just stand by and wring their
    hands. Shit, if they compromise it might look like Biden won one.

    "May 11, 2023 House Republicans pushed through a sweeping border
    security bill on Thursday that would crack down on unlawful
    immigration, blowing past solid Democratic opposition and narrowly
    avoiding an embarrassing mutiny within their own ranks on one of
    their signature midterm campaign promises.

    Republicans timed approval of the measure, which has no chance in
    the Democratic-led Senate, to spotlight their hard-line stance on
    immigration just as President Biden is facing a potential border
    surge with Thursday night’s expiration of Title 42, the
    pandemic-era rule allowing for swift expulsion of migrants.

    The bill would revive and codify a variety of border policies
    championed during the Trump administration, including construction
    of a border wall, the “Remain in Mexico” practice of keeping
    migrants seeking asylum either in detention facilities or on the
    opposite side of the border and expedited deportation of
    unaccompanied children. It also would mandate that companies verify
    their employees are legally eligible to work in the United States
    through a program known as E-Verify, and criminalize visa overstays
    of more than 10 days.

    "Republicans are divided on an immigration bill introduced by members of
    their own party that would grant citizenship to millions who are in the
    country without legal permission.

    Congresswoman María Elvira Salazar, of Florida, in a Feb. 9 news
    conference, talked about the Dignity Act. The bill that would help those
    who were brought into the country as minors without legal permission and
    others who contribute to the U.S. economy, while it also would focus on reinforcing the border.

    "The United States has historically been a beacon of refuge for those
    fleeing violence and oppression or seeking a new life and
    opportunities," Salazar said. "In recent decades, our broken immigration
    system has been exploited, leading to a situation that is unbecoming of
    our great nation."

    "While the United States is a nation of laws, we are also a nation of
    second chances," she said. "Through dignity and a chance at redemption,
    this legacy can continue."

    Some of the provisions in the proposal include having immigrants pay
    $1,000 annually for 10 years into a fund as restitution and that money
    would help train other workers.

    The measure would "streamline" a path for minors brought into the
    country illegally as children and beef up structures and systems at the
    U.S. border — also to be paid by a tax on the immigrants who apply. But
    they "will not have access to federal means-tested benefits or
    entitlements," said a news release describing the bill.

    Members of Salazar's own party balked at it, exposing the rifts within
    the Republican party between those who want to back immigration reform
    and those opposed to it completely, calling it a type of "amnesty."

    "I have asked some of my colleagues that — to explain to me and to give
    me a rigorous definition of what (amnesty) means. No one has been able
    to give it to me," Salazar said.

    Republican Ronald Reagan in 1986 was the last U.S. president to
    successfully rally Congress to pass legislation that legalized, on a grand-scale, groups that had entered the country without permission to
    do so by granting 3 million people what some call "amnesty."

    George is spot on.
    The Center for Immigration Studies is actually a conservative based organization. Which is hilarious since the TechnoBoob uses their

    a long time these numbers are totally underestimated, but don't make too
    big a stink of it since their end goals are mostly laudable. They do
    lobby for things the leftists don't like, and I think the Southern

    racism, anti-immigrant, white supremacist, antisemitic vilification.
    You do get into conflicting agenda because of this though since they
    receive donations from liberal groups who also like having conservative
    outlets repeat these numbers, as well as people like the Boob who use
    them to their advantage.
    The problem with the numbers is that the groups assembles various
    government agency stats into their assessment. Anyone who believes very
    much of what the leftist controlled bureaucrats in the government swamp
    tells us is foolhardy. Watch congressional hearing to confirm one after another being called out for lies or partial truths. George is correct
    in thinking the numbers are anything but the truth.

    Well, you just sent Captain Google scrambling for something he can rebut with. I still say it's impossible to know the number of undocumented
    alien democrat voters in this country. Estimates are just that and it depends on who is doing the estimating. Of course the libs' estimate

    George is spot on.
    The Center for Immigration Studies is actually a conservative based organization. Which is hilarious since the TechnoBoob uses their
    figures since he likes their numbers. Most conservatives have known for
    a long time these numbers are totally underestimated, but don't make too
    big a stink of it since their end goals are mostly laudable. They do
    lobby for things the leftists don't like, and I think the Southern
    Poverty Law Center has it in for them using the typical tactics of
    racism, anti-immigrant, white supremacist, antisemitic vilification.
    You do get into conflicting agenda because of this though since they
    receive donations from liberal groups who also like having conservative outlets repeat these numbers, as well as people like the Boob who use
    them to their advantage.
    The problem with the numbers is that the groups assembles various
    government agency stats into their assessment. Anyone who believes very
    much of what the leftist controlled bureaucrats in the government swamp tells us is foolhardy. Watch congressional hearing to confirm one after another being called out for lies or partial truths. George is correct
    in thinking the numbers are anything but the truth.

    A government shut down is always a good thing
    regardless of which side you are on.

    I can't articulate my own opinion, because I've
    been diagnosed by our resident psychiatrist with
    having problems with the English language, so I'll
    just say that's a pretty good - and pleasantly concise - >>>>>>>>>> description of my opinion also.


    I wonder what it's like to be all-knowing, all-seeing
    and a Google expert?

    I don't know. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to
    figure that out, because a lot of the tools in my
    toolbox have been lost or stolen - which is only part
    of the problem because I seem to have also transitorily
    misplaced my table.


    What!? You haven't asked LLaMA?

    I've become moderately disillusioned with LLaMa - it acts
    and performs a lot like some Real People in here. And you
    should at least try to spell its self-identified name
    correctly. If it should happen to crawl RORT and see your
    blatant disrespect, it might go find a safe space.


    As long as it doesn't cross the border illegally, it should
    be OK.

    It can't cross the border - the border is secure.

    Of course it is. Look at all the work the retrumplicans are doing
    in Congress to secure it. Oh, wait. HqwHawHaw!

    It's not like the retrumplicans haven't done anything. They have
    been grandstanding on the issue with a border bill that has no
    chance of passing. As usual they can't find any way to find common
    ground with the Democrats, so they just stand by and wring their
    hands. Shit, if they compromise it might look like Biden won one.

    "May 11, 2023 House Republicans pushed through a sweeping border
    security bill on Thursday that would crack down on unlawful
    immigration, blowing past solid Democratic opposition and narrowly
    avoiding an embarrassing mutiny within their own ranks on one of
    their signature midterm campaign promises.

    Republicans timed approval of the measure, which has no chance in
    the Democratic-led Senate, to spotlight their hard-line stance on
    immigration just as President Biden is facing a potential border
    surge with Thursday night’s expiration of Title 42, the
    pandemic-era rule allowing for swift expulsion of migrants.

    The bill would revive and codify a variety of border policies
    championed during the Trump administration, including construction
    of a border wall, the “Remain in Mexico†practice of keeping
    migrants seeking asylum either in detention facilities or on the
    opposite side of the border and expedited deportation of
    unaccompanied children. It also would mandate that companies verify
    their employees are legally eligible to work in the United States
    through a program known as E-Verify, and criminalize visa overstays
    of more than 10 days.

    The 219-to-213 vote to pass the bill came only after months of
    internal Republican feuding capped by a final, marathon round of
    haggling this week that highlighted the party’s tenuous hold on
    its fractious majority and led to a series of last-minute changes
    to win over holdouts. Two Republicans, Representatives Thomas
    Massie of Kentucky and John Duarte of California, joined Democrats
    in opposing the legislation, citing objections to the E-Verify
    requirement.

    The Republican divisions had threatened to muddle a debate the
    party had timed for maximum political advantage, in which G.O.P.
    lawmakers denounced the Biden administration for rising waves of
    migration that are expected to surge further after Title 42
    expires."

    "https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/11/us/politics/house-republicans-immigration-bill.html"

    There are at least a couple of things worth noting here. For many
    years the majority of our undocumented immigrants are people who
    entered the country legally and overstayed their visa.

    The number of undocumented immigrants in this country has been
    relatively stable for a long time at around 12 million people.

    Yeah, right. That's why even Democrat mayors and governors are starting
    to complain and ask for money?

    Then there's this: ----------------------------------------------------------------
    ...
    Figure 3. There is a lot of variation from month to month, but the foreign-born population grew much more slowly during Trump's presidency than during Obama's or Biden's. (January 2010 to February 2022, in millions)
    ...
    Conclusion

    We estimate that in January 2019, the number of illegal immigrants in
    the country was 11.48 million, similar to DHS’s estimate of 11.39 million for 2018. By January 2021, we estimate the number had dropped to 10.22 million as a result of travel restrictions and other policies imposed as a result of Covid-19 and perhaps the deterioration in the
    U.S. economy. The number then rebounded to 11.35 million by January 2022 — a 1.13 million increase since President Biden took office at the beginning of 2021. This means that growth in the illegal immigrant population accounted for very roughly two-thirds of the 1.6 million increase in the total foreign-born population (legal and illegal immigrants together) in President Biden’s first year in office (January 2021 to January 2022). The share of growth in the total foreign-born population accounted for by illegal immigrants is even larger if we compare the number in January 2021 to our preliminary February 2022 estimate of 11.46 million. What’s more, the total foreign-born population reached 46.7 million in February of this year, a new record high in American history.

    While the large swings in the illegal-immigrant population may seem unlikely, we find indirect evidence in the monthly CPS that the number
    of illegal immigrants fell between 2019 and 2021 and then grew dramatically by 2022. The number of both non-citizens and non-citizen Hispanics declined then rebounded over this time period. Changes in
    these populations should be highly correlated with trends in the illegal-immigrant population. We think the recent increase in illegal immigrants reflects policy changes by the Biden administration and the lessening of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the recovery of the economy.

    Well, you just sent Captain Google scrambling for something he can rebut with. I still say it's impossible to know the number of undocumented
    alien democrat voters in this country. Estimates are just that and it depends on who is doing the estimating. Of course the libs' estimate
    will be lower or unchanging over the years but anyone with half a brain knows that's impossible... just over the past two years.

    Oh yeah, thanks for reminding me. Another significant difference between me and the average rort dweeb is that I frequently backup my opinions with facts. It makes the know nothings crazy because all they have to rebut it with is ignorance.

    A government shut down is always a good thing
    regardless of which side you are on.

    I can't articulate my own opinion, because I've
    been diagnosed by our resident psychiatrist with
    having problems with the English language, so I'll
    just say that's a pretty good - and pleasantly concise - >>>>>>>>>>>> description of my opinion also.


    I wonder what it's like to be all-knowing, all-seeing
    and a Google expert?

    I don't know. I'm not smart enough to figure out how to
    figure that out, because a lot of the tools in my
    toolbox have been lost or stolen - which is only part
    of the problem because I seem to have also transitorily
    misplaced my table.


    What!? You haven't asked LLaMA?

    I've become moderately disillusioned with LLaMa - it acts
    and performs a lot like some Real People in here. And you
    should at least try to spell its self-identified name
    correctly. If it should happen to crawl RORT and see your
    blatant disrespect, it might go find a safe space.


    As long as it doesn't cross the border illegally, it should
    be OK.

    It can't cross the border - the border is secure.

    Of course it is. Look at all the work the retrumplicans are doing
    in Congress to secure it. Oh, wait. HqwHawHaw!

    It's not like the retrumplicans haven't done anything. They have
    been grandstanding on the issue with a border bill that has no
    chance of passing. As usual they can't find any way to find common
    ground with the Democrats, so they just stand by and wring their
    hands. Shit, if they compromise it might look like Biden won one.

    "May 11, 2023 House Republicans pushed through a sweeping border
    security bill on Thursday that would crack down on unlawful
    immigration, blowing past solid Democratic opposition and narrowly
    avoiding an embarrassing mutiny within their own ranks on one of
    their signature midterm campaign promises.

    Republicans timed approval of the measure, which has no chance in
    the Democratic-led Senate, to spotlight their hard-line stance on
    immigration just as President Biden is facing a potential border
    surge with Thursday night’s expiration of Title 42, the
    pandemic-era rule allowing for swift expulsion of migrants.

    The bill would revive and codify a variety of border policies
    championed during the Trump administration, including construction
    of a border wall, the “Remain in Mexico†practice of keeping >>>> migrants seeking asylum either in detention facilities or on the
    opposite side of the border and expedited deportation of
    unaccompanied children. It also would mandate that companies verify
    their employees are legally eligible to work in the United States
    through a program known as E-Verify, and criminalize visa overstays
    of more than 10 days.

    The 219-to-213 vote to pass the bill came only after months of
    internal Republican feuding capped by a final, marathon round of
    haggling this week that highlighted the party’s tenuous hold on >>>> its fractious majority and led to a series of last-minute changes
    to win over holdouts. Two Republicans, Representatives Thomas
    Massie of Kentucky and John Duarte of California, joined Democrats
    in opposing the legislation, citing objections to the E-Verify
    requirement.

    The Republican divisions had threatened to muddle a debate the
    party had timed for maximum political advantage, in which G.O.P.
    lawmakers denounced the Biden administration for rising waves of
    migration that are expected to surge further after Title 42
    expires."

    "https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/11/us/politics/house-republicans-immigration-bill.html"


    There are at least a couple of things worth noting here. For many
    years the majority of our undocumented immigrants are people who
    entered the country legally and overstayed their visa.

    The number of undocumented immigrants in this country has been
    relatively stable for a long time at around 12 million people.

    Yeah, right. That's why even Democrat mayors and governors are starting
    to complain and ask for money?

    Then there's this:
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    ...
    Figure 3. There is a lot of variation from month to month, but the
    foreign-born population grew much more slowly during Trump's presidency
    than during Obama's or Biden's. (January 2010 to February 2022, in
    millions)
    ...
    Conclusion

    We estimate that in January 2019, the number of illegal immigrants in
    the country was 11.48 million, similar to DHS’s estimate of 11.39
    million for 2018. By January 2021, we estimate the number had dropped to >>> 10.22 million as a result of travel restrictions and other policies
    imposed as a result of Covid-19 and perhaps the deterioration in the
    U.S. economy. The number then rebounded to 11.35 million by January 2022 >>> — a 1.13 million increase since President Biden took office at the
    beginning of 2021. This means that growth in the illegal immigrant
    population accounted for very roughly two-thirds of the 1.6 million
    increase in the total foreign-born population (legal and illegal
    immigrants together) in President Biden’s first year in office (January >>> 2021 to January 2022). The share of growth in the total foreign-born
    population accounted for by illegal immigrants is even larger if we
    compare the number in January 2021 to our preliminary February 2022
    estimate of 11.46 million. What’s more, the total foreign-born
    population reached 46.7 million in February of this year, a new record
    high in American history.

    While the large swings in the illegal-immigrant population may seem
    unlikely, we find indirect evidence in the monthly CPS that the number
    of illegal immigrants fell between 2019 and 2021 and then grew
    dramatically by 2022. The number of both non-citizens and non-citizen
    Hispanics declined then rebounded over this time period. Changes in
    these populations should be highly correlated with trends in the
    illegal-immigrant population. We think the recent increase in illegal
    immigrants reflects policy changes by the Biden administration and the
    lessening of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the recovery of the economy. >>> ------------------------------------------------------

    Well, you just sent Captain Google scrambling for something he can rebut
    with. I still say it's impossible to know the number of undocumented
    alien democrat voters in this country. Estimates are just that and it
    depends on who is doing the estimating. Of course the libs' estimate
    will be lower or unchanging over the years but anyone with half a brain
    knows that's impossible... just over the past two years.
