The average person uses 100 gallons of water a day:

The following are examples of how people use water found on the USGS government website:
http://water.usgs.gov/edu/qa-home-percapita.html

Bath A full tub is about 36 gallons.
Shower 2-2.5 gallons per minute. Old shower heads use as much as 4 gallons per minute.
Teeth brushing <1 gallon, especially if water is turned off while brushing. Newer bath faucets use about 1 gallon per minute, whereas older models use over 2 gallons.
Hands/face washing 1 gallon
Face/leg shaving 1 gallon
Dishwasher 20 gallons/load, depending of efficiency of dishwasher
Dishwashing by hand: 4 gallons/minute for old faucets.. Newer kitchen faucets use about 1-2 gallons per minutes.
Clothes washer 25 gallons/load for newer washers. Older models use about 40 gallons per load.
Toilet flush 3 gallons for older models. Most all new toilets use 1.2-1.6 gallons per flush.
Glasses of water drunk 8 oz. per glass (did you remember to drink your 8 glasses of water today?)
Outdoor watering 2 gallons per minute

There are 30 MILLION + illegal aliens in the US

so.... 30,000,000 X 100 gallons = 3 billion gallons of fresh water consumed per DAY by illegal aliens (at a minimum)

365 days in a year X 3 billion = 1.095 TRILLION gallons of water a year.

That’s a lot of water. Then throw in millions more as “refugees” and we have a big problem.

Around here, they use “non-potable” (treated sewage water) to water parks, golf courses, shopping mall grass, lakes in subdivisions.
