Thanks C Dave. I thought that figure MSM throws
out on amnesty looked 50% low.

No one really knows how many illegals are here. The figure of 11 million is out of date and estimates range from 16.7 to 22 million with one estimate as high as 30 million:

The U.S. government and most groups put the number of undocumented immigrants at around 11 million to 12 million, but researchers from Yale and MIT give a “conservative” number of 16. 7 million in 2016 and an average of 22 million, according to Yale Insights.

Bloomberg reported the study could validate claims made by President Trump that the real number on undocumented immigrants in the country is as high as 30 million and could offer ammunition for the president and immigration critics to take a harder stance on the issue.
