Where did this bull s**t number of 11 million illegal aliens in the number come from?

The estimate is even less the “12 million illegal aliens in the US” head count has been the standard since the Clinton Administration since about 1996 and has been unchanged since that time despite and estimated 1-2 million illegals entering the US over the last 15 years since then.

It’s more like 12 million in 1996 plus another 20 - 30 million more since then for a total of 30-45 million illegals residing in the borders of the US.

Re: “Where did this bull s**t number of 11 million illegal aliens in the number come from?”

The 11-12 million number comes from the U.S. Census Bureau and from Pew Research (a center-left think tank, but well respected for good data).

CIS, Numbers USA, and FAIR - which are the three top Conservative immigration think tanks - all use that number.

No doubt there are flaws in that number, but the consensus seems to be that it is the best one available.
