Yesterday Trump told us that his plan was to remove 21m people from the United States,
or 6% of our current population and at least 5% of our total current workforce.

“All of them have to go home.”

A few points about this insane post:
Best estimates are that the total undocumented population in the US is between 12m and 15m.

The figure that Trump and his regime keeps using
- 21m came in under Biden
- is made up and false.

Here’s the latest Pew data from 2022:

Assuming that at least 1m new arrivals came in 2023 and 2024 (many legally by the way),
we can estimate that the undocumented population today is at least 12m and perhaps as high as 15m.

These 12m to 15m make up between 25 and 30% of the overall immigrant population in the US.

So the 21m number is wrong -- as are the claims

1) that undocumented people have brought destruction to the US
(their crime rate is lower than native born Americans, and the violent crime rate is half of what it was 30 years ago)

2) that they receive welfare

- no undocumented person is eligible for federal programs like welfare, Medicaid etc.
In fact Hispanic Americans have the highest worker participation rate of any group in America. Higher than whites
