More than 3 times the number normally reported

The illegal immigrant population is as high as 29.5 million, far more than the 11 million accepted by experts and the government, according to an explosive new report from three Yale University experts.

“Our results lead us to the conclusion that the widely accepted estimate of 11.3 million undocumented immigrants in the United States is too small. Our model estimates indicate that the true number is likely to be larger, with an estimated 95 percent probability interval ranging from 16.2 to 29.5 million undocumented immigrants,” said their report published by PLOS One, an academic journal.

The authors from Yale School of Management, Mohammad M. Fazel-Zarandi, Jonathan S. Feinstein, Edward H. Kaplan, said the average in their new model is about 22 million, exactly twice the number accepted by the Census Bureau and other experts.

“The mean estimate based on our simulation analysis is 22.1 million, essentially double the current widely accepted estimate,” they wrote.

And if they all have 2 kids, that's unlimited control for the Democrats for the rest of time.

We've known it was 25 to 30 million for at least a decade. Probably closer to 35 now since we've had these unchecked wave after wave after wave since mid/late George W. Bush.

Remember when the left wing said we were paranoid for thinking there were more illegals in the country than was being reported? I remember


Now they are bragging about it

They've been using the same "11-12 million" number for at least 15 years now. The public is apparently stupid enough to accept it never goes up over time.

Ten percent of every living soul here in the USA seems about right to me.

I remember back in the 80’s through early 2000’s when Dims were against illegals displacing American workers, all the Dim controlled unions stood against illegals taking American jobs and then the Dim leadership and the unions decided to embrace illegals flooding the country.....I wonder why they flipped their position? We know why.....LOL!

They don’t care where the votes and union dues come from. I’ll venture to say the SEIU is a majority of illegals.

I have been saying the illegal population in the U.S. is between 30-40 million for a couple of years now. I love how the number used is always around 11 million.

Absolutely preposterous to keep telling that lie.
