The nation’s illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million, an increase of more than two million since President Joe Biden began implementing his Catch and Release network at the United States–Mexico border, an analysis reveals.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released its annual report estimating the size of the illegal alien population residing in the United States.

Based on the latest Census Bureau data, FAIR researchers found that there are at least 16.8 million illegal aliens now living in American communities — an increase of 2.3 million illegal aliens since Biden took office in January 2021 and an increase of 1.3 million illegal aliens since the same time last year.

All part of the plan to bankrupt us and usher in socialism.

I’d bet it’s closer to 300 billion annually.

[Boardwalk]

I am going with 400 billion.

Yep… along with MANY other nefarious things such as THE UKRAINE PROJECT.

The nation’s illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million...

BULLSHIT. It's probably closer to 50 million at this point.

Try 30M+

[Robert DeLong]

I believe those numbers to be low. I mean this has been ongoing for more than 50 years now.

[Vigilanteman]

Well, that’s only $9,588 each! Such a cheap price for socialism.

[Deo volente]

30-40 million illegals here, easily.
And millions more coming. No end in sight.

[House Atreides]

“ I am going with 400 billion.”

Easily, if not much much more when you add in free schooling for their spawn and other things such as earned income tax credits.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Yep.

[Carriage Hill]

“The nation’s illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million...”

BS. We’re likely closer to 60-70 million, since the 60s.

For whatever it’s worth, this information is apparently available from the British government as to what their illegal aliens are costing the British taxpayer. But here in the U.S. the best we can do is make semi-educated guesses as to the cost. I guess there are just some things we don’t need to know.

“The nation’s illegal alien population has hit nearly 17 million...”

I would put the over/under at 50M. 17 is laughable, unless we are talking about in 1985.

[Joe Brower]

The true number of illegal is at least twice that. And the costs much greater than simple dollar math can calculate.

[Seaplaner]

All part of the plan to bankrupt us and usher in socialism.

They dilute our base of American Citizens who revere our Traditions, Culture, Customs, Language, and (in the real sense) Unity. They are given free stuff, lots of it.

My additional worry is that they will soon dilute our voting rolls.

[spintreebob]

From a purely economic viewpoint, it is not the illegal that is costing us, it is the welfare to illegals and their children that is costing us.

[TheDon]

Wealth sovereigns....yawn.

[Captainpaintball]

17 million? What about the other THIRTY MILLION?
