First, the 11.1 million is a false figure. Next, there are so many illegals in every state now, I question if 20% are in NYC and LA.

Let’s check to see how many of them are registered to vote Democrat and voted for Hillary. It’s probably more than the 3 million that Pres. Trump stated.

If they are here illegally, they are illegal aliens, not immigrants.

Immigrants are people who apply in their home country, pay their fees, wait their turn, learn the language and comply with the laws.

Immigrants earned their right to be called immigrants and it is an insult to them to call illegal aliens the same.

The school buses around here may as well have carpet on the dashboard and mariachi music playing through the horn.

I would have to agree with you....to be an illegal in the US...means you are taking an income of 10-to-20 percent less than the residents. In NYC? Oh please...you couldn’t make it in the city with 20-percent less salary...not unless you live up on the roof of some building free of charge.

CA may be a nice place to live again, once the housing market collapses due to vacancies.

And as long as they vote Dem, that’s just fine for the Democrats and MSM.

They have been stuck with the number of illegals at 11 or 12 million for several years now. Truth be told it has to be a minimum of at least 20 million.
