We always figure the actual number of illegals in the country is about triple what the government says.
I can tell you that Texas is having trouble getting the hispanics census data.
.
The FBI/DOJ Uniform Crime Reports are based on local LEO management reports
So the 17% of Illegals here in the USA is likely mucho on the low side -
I believe the FBI has a fairly good guestimate of the Illegal Aliens here in the US
Both Republican and democrat administrations deliberately lowball the number of Illegal Aliens here residing in the US
The RINOS and dems say “They have lived here for 40 years - It is time now to ‘LEGALIZE’ them now!”
“AMNESTY” is passe - Honest Americans would never buy it!
Change the words - names - confuse and ram and cram before the dumb voters figure out with 8 million unemployed now because of Obama -
It may just be helped if 12-28 million invading Illegal Aliens are removed from taking the jobs - under the table - wihout paying any payroll deductions like:
FED or State or local Income Taxes, SS, Medicare, and more
