How many illegal aliens, TPRs & asylum seekers are in the US?
Grok

Posted on 10/06/2026 7:48:27 AM PDT by FLT-bird

There are 15-16 million illegal aliens in the US according to Grok.

There are 270,000 temporary protected refugees down from a peek of 1.3 million under Biden according

As for asylum seekers, there are between 3.5 million and 3.7 million pending claims according to Grok.

This would make roughly 20 million more to deport and does not count birthright citizens born to illegals nor does it count legal residents like H1B visa holders and their dependents (about 1.3 million) nor OPT visa holders (400,000).

20 million seems like a pretty low number to me given how common illegals are in schools, on construction and other job sites, how overloaded hospital emergency rooms are by all the illegals using them for medical care.

Congress should declare war on militant Islam and put up for a vote every 2 years. That would be the way to deal with the Hassan Pikers out there-maybe even the Kenyans.

We have too many LEGAL immigrants too! Many of them would have been turned away at Ellis Island. Socialists, charity-cases, druggies. America is just about no more, given what the Rats are calling for now.

I had surgery in Tallahassee Memorial Hospital in Tallahassee, Florida about a week ago. After my scheduled surgery I was supposed to be transferred to the floor for people with knee surgery. I listened to the person trying to get me a room. Mind you, this was all scheduled months in advance. The person on the other end repeatedly said there were no rooms available. Finally, they sent me to a floor for other types of health care. I had to wait while it was cleaned.

While there I listened to a doctor in an adjoining room try to determine what language the patient there spoke...with little luck. When my surgeon arrived, the next day, he was annoyed I wasn’t on the floor he specified, and he used some political pull to get me there.

My impression when I started walking the halls was there is a tower of Babel cacophony of languages. The majority of hospitals in Florida, and, I understand, Texas, are broke because they are full of illegals who pay nothing.

If you go to the emergency room, you’ll find it stuffed full of illegals who use the ER for their regular doctor type issues. Unless you arrive by ambulance or have a bone sticking out, you’ll wait a minimum of seven hours. (I timed it.) Years ago, a nurse told me, “If they’re illegal, we aren’t even allowed to ask their name.” The solution to this should be, fine, we’ll treat an emergency. Treat the emergency and call ICE.

What we’re dealing with is the liberal, “health care is a human right.” So, how much of my income must I set aside to pay for the health care of an unlimited number of people I wouldn’t invite into my house? And if it is a human right, then people who believe that should be the ones to pay for it.

Absolutely no doubt. If it were up to me we would denaturalize and deport 99.99% of all Muslims, Leftist Indians, and various other Leftists AND no foreigner, would be eligible for any social program....no education, health, food, housing, ANYTHING.

But unfortunately, all of that would take acts of Congress which would be politically impossible.

That's an excellent question. I know some fled to Canada. I assume some left but most of them remained and are now considered to be illegal aliens.....who need to be deported.

Wholeheartedly agree. There should be an ICE office in every hospital. Illegals go straight to detention and deportation. Emergency medical care only and they go straight from the hospital to detention or deportation.

That would clear the hospitals up immediately

Leftist Open Borders Bedwetter: "But But But...that would mean *undocumented* people would not get routine medical care!"

Me: "By Jove....I think you've got it! They would not get medical care AT OUR EXPENSE. Life would be made more difficult for them. They would be given MORE INCENTIVE to get the eff out of our country where they don't belong to begin with!"

BULL!! There are at LEAST 100 million here. 25% of my neighborhood doesn’t even speak English. The city is full of foreigners. The school population is 1/3 non-English-speaking here. It is insane. They’re hiding the real numbers. 1 out of 4 people shouldn’t be here.

I’m inclined to agree with you that its way more than 20 or so million. That number seems awfully low to me given....how they don’t even speak English on construction sites....how common the kids of illegals are in the public schools. For example, here in Charlotte when ICE was doing a sweep several months ago, about 10% of the students in the public schools didn’t show up for class because they’re illegals and their parents were worried....and there are plenty of places that have as many illegals as Charlotte.

That adds up to a lot more than they’re claiming. I don’t think its 100 million but the totals they claim of 20 million seems way low.

The latest at Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) has the total at just under 19 million, but do say that's certainly low due to the difficulty to assess those dodging formal recognition while adopting false (or stolen) identities.

The latest US Census has us at 341 million total people, not just citizens. Figure half the illegals avoided being counted in any way. Add the massive influx during the usurper regime. I estimate 20 to 30 million, with the total slowly lowering as the Trump administration continues enforcement measures and pressuring "sanctuaries".

It always seems way more because so many behave obnoxiously and resist assimilation.

We don’t know. We don’t know how many persons are in the US in each category of residence.

At State Farm IT workers would talk freely with me about their status. The single largest group was “in process”.

“in process” is a group not mentioned in the article. It is often called the “Pending” status. A large number of people in the US used to be college students on student visa. They now work in IT for some consulting company. They have applied for H1b. But the H1b for the next year have not yet been awarded. So they are working as if H1b. But in reality they are “Pending H1b”.

Others are “Pending Marriage”. Of these some are engaged to a fiancee. Some are still “looking” for a fiancee and future spouse. (Omar found her brother.)

Others are “Pending the birth of their birthright baby”. Again, the woman might be pregnant. Or she just might “allegedly” be trying to get pregnant. I have wondered about some of these as they did not seem to want to take a leave from work to have a baby and had been “trying” as long as I had known them.

There are MANY categories of illegal. Many stories.

When a SATYAM consulting company folds and thousands are suddenly visible scrambling to find an alternative does anybody take the opportunity to quantify how many were in PENDING status?

Also how many at Satyam had 3 or 4 consultants all using the same H1b and claiming to be the same person? The same person claimed to be consulting 40 hrs per week concurrently to Allstate, Discover Card, State Farm, a bank, a manufacturing company. That was the big unquantified scandal at SATYAM.

Interesting. Between illegals, (bogus) asylum seekers and people who formerly had TPR status that has been revoked, Grok had it at 20 million. I'm thinking at least 25-30 million is much more likely.

Getting rid of 2.9 million last year was not as much as I'd hoped but its still pretty good. Even if we only go along at that pace for rest of Trump's term that would be 12 million out in 4 years which would be a significant chunk of the problem.....Get JD Vance in to continue deporting them and this problem could be hugely diminished. I'm also glad Trump reduced legal immigration significantly. Now to radically slash H1bs....

If only we actually could denaturalize and deport many of the turds let in over the last 30 years - such as Somalis and other Muslims as well as Leftist Indians (many former H1Bs).

Interesting. I didn't know about "pending" H1bs being allowed to be in the US and work. Google's AI says:

"There are approximately 124,600 pending H-1B petitions currently in the USCIS processing backlog."

This of course should not be allowed. They should only be allowed once granted an H1b which would be after the company they want to work for pays a nice big fat fee to the US Treasury.

“Where did 1M go?”

They were deported, left voluntarily, are in hiding and not found, in jail and can’t vote, changed their names to vote, and have been given voting status as there are 19 states and the District of Columbia allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a state driver’s license or driving privilege card which allows them to vote. This, along with a falsified SS card, hides them in plain sight.

And don’t forget last week a federal judge ruled that the federal gov’t can’t prosecute people for voting illegally in federal elections! He said that’s up to the states on who gets to vote and who to prosecute!
