When I see "unauthorized" substituted for "illegal" that tells me a lot. Just do a search of and you will find multiple sources that lay out the numbers. And that doesn't even count the unknowns.I know you probably won't bother but this is a good look at illegal immigration the last quarter century from about as neutral a source as you're likely to find. Your numbers are clearly distorted and badly.

What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.
The unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S. grew to 11 million in 2022, but remained below the peak of 12.2 million in 2007.www.pewresearch.org
- The number of unauthorized immigrants from Mexico dropped to 4.0 million in 2022 from a peak of 6.9 million in 2007. Mexico has long been, and remains, the most common country of birth for unauthorized immigrants.
- From 2019 to 2022, the unauthorized immigrant population from nearly every region of the world grew. The Caribbean, South America, Asia, Europe and sub-Saharan Africa all saw increases.
- The unauthorized immigrant population grew in six states from 2019 to 2022 – Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Texas. Only California saw a decrease.
- About 8.3 million U.S. workers in 2022 were unauthorized immigrants, an increase from 7.4 million in 2019. The 2022 number is essentially the same as previous highs in 2008 and 2011.
The fact that anyone would defend what has been allowed happen just makes me shake my head. Anyone willing to do so just lends credence to the people who believe the US will not have to be defeated on the battlefield, it will defeat itself from within.
