There are a record 61 million immigrants and their American-born children in the United States, including an estimated 15.7 million illegally here, according to a new analysis of 2015 U.S. Census data.

The estimated number of undocumented immigrants is one of the highest ever.

The analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies found that 45.3 million, or three-fourths of the 61 million, are legal immigrants and their children. The report out Monday notes that the so-called "Gang of Eight" immigration bill supported by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Marco Rubio would have doubled that number of legal immigrants.

Finally someone will use a ILLEGAL ALIEN number higher than the establishment broken record of 11 million.
And all this at a time when over 94 million Americans now missing from workforce

That’s why Clinton and Sanders can win the election regardless of who the GOP puts up. We’re a nation of freeloaders now. If the ‘RATS ran Charlie Manson, he’s still have 47% of the vote right off the bat.

Teacher, teacher, why are 95,000,000 Americans out of work ???

[Aleya2Fairlie]

Careful! Even though it’s provable and true, you can’t say that. You’ll be raked in, trampled and trussed. When you come out, you’ll be a back stabbing, appeasing, go along to get along GOP dunce just like all the rest. I’ve watched it happen.

OR -—

Alex, “What is why there are 95,000,000 Americans who do not have a job.”

Someone needs to re-post the chart from Sen Sessions that showed over 90% of these immigrants receive foodshare....that is in addition to other benefits like SSI, housing etc. All the while Americans suffer.

[Baldwin77]

It is more like 30,000,000 are illegal aliens, but, at this point,

“WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ???”

[ExTxMarine]

This can’t be true, because the media has said that Obama has been Mr. Deporter!

He has deported more illegals than the last three Presidents combined! He has personally been on the border, rounding-up illegals and physically throwing them back over the imaginary wall down there!

So, obviously, this is just some evil, right-wing parody site BS! /sarc

IMHO you could not be more correct.





The following quotation has been attributed to Tytler, although it has also been occasionally attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville:

A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship.

BTTT!

[Resolute Conservative]

15 million is about 10 million shy of being even close to an accurate number.

[HiJinx]

Wow! They’ve finally updated the numbers!
Wonder by how much they are still off?

[Cheerio]

Wonder by how much they are still off?

IMHO at least by a factor of 2X. I have seen 30 million numbers years ago.

While federal government officials insist that only 11-12 million illegal immigrants currently live in the United States, a controversial new book asserts that the true number is closer to 30 million.
