How convenient you wont posit a #.
No wonder you like the Dems.
Bottom line line
No one knows exactly how many and that in and of itself is ludicrous and of course dangerous
But the #s are well north of 20million and not to address it is national suicide
And that my little leftie ideologue...is precisely the game plan of those who are behind it.
Digest the Yale/MIT study below...hardly bastions of conservative thought and arguably the premier scientific institution in the world
And thats BEFORE the deluge orchestrated by the Dems under your turnip.
So add to that these #s during their reignBorder Encounters (FY 2021–FY 2024)
Nationwide Total Encounters: Over 10.8 million encounters were recorded by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) during this period.homeland.house.gov+1homeland.house.gov+1
Southwest Border Encounters: Out of the nationwide total, more than 8.72 million encounters occurred at the Southwest border.homeland.house.gov+6homeland.house.gov+6homeland.house.gov+6
"Gotaways" (FY 2021–FY 2024)
Estimated Total Gotaways: CBP has recorded approximately 2 million known "gotaways"—individuals who illegally entered the U.S. without being apprehended—since the start of FY 2021.homeland.house.gov

We apply standard demographic principles of inflows and outflows to estimate the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States, using the best available data, including some that have only recently become available. Our analysis covers the years 1990 to 2016.congress.gov+5netadvisor.org+5nationaleconomicseditorial.com+5
We generate a lower bound for the number of undocumented immigrants using conservative parameter values that underestimate inflows and overestimate outflows. Our lower bound is close to 17 million, 50% higher than the most prominent current estimate of 11.3 million, which is based on survey data and thus different sources and methods. Standard parameter values generate an estimate of 22.8 million undocumented immigrants, twice as large as the current estimate.nationaleconomicseditorial.com+1mitsloan.mit.edu+1
We also conduct a sensitivity analysis to determine how much the estimates vary with changes in the model parameters. Our analysis suggests that the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States is larger than previously thought.laist.com+1mitsloan.mit.edu+1
Key Conclusion from the Study:
“Our best estimate of the number of undocumented immigrants in the U.S. is 22.1 million. The 95% probability range is 16.2 million to 29.5 million.”“This estimate is approximately twice as large as the widely accepted current estimate, which is based on survey data.”“Our analysis suggests that the number of undocumented immigrants in the United States is larger than previously believed, and growing due to inflows exceeding outflows.”Citation
