Technically, 11.3M.
But your point is well taken. I’ll be the first to agree that there are far too many illegals in this country.
Of course, if putting forth 11.3M makes me a troll, presumably 40M is only a slightly smaller troll. Why not 60M, 75M, 100M, 300M?
Anybody who says there are less than 1,000,000,000 illegals in this country is obviously a troll and has a personal financial stake in cheap illegal labor.
That’s the whole problem with actual numbers as oppsed to qualitative opinions. Quantification requires, by definition, something resembling precision, or at minimum some basis other than personal opinion for an estimate.
If you kick out an actual number, don’t be surprised if someone expects you to justify it.
