For as long as anyone can remember, Americans have been told the same number over and over again. Eleven million illegal immigrants have taken up “space” in the USA. That’s the figure we’ve heard for what seems like decades now, like it’s carved in stone or something.

But it’s just not adding up.

It seems like that number didn’t budge much through waves of border surges. It feels like we’ve been told eleven million for a really long time, and quite frankly, a lot of people don’t buy it anymore.

Some think the Biden administration downplayed the number to make the crisis look manageable while quietly flooding the country. Others suspect even Team Trump keeps the real figure soft because if Americans truly understood the scale of what’s happened, they’d lose their collective minds. Either way, very few people believe the real number is anywhere close to what we’ve been told.

Just imagine how much more money this country would have if we didn’t have the burden of illegal aliens mooching off our system and using up all of our resources.

Mila Joe:

America spends $7.8B monthly on SNAP. If ILLEGALS were removed from SNAP the cost would reduce 70%. If all benefits were CUT OFF they would LEAVE. 45% of ALL AFGHANI’s living in America receive FREE FOOD from YOU. Is this your American dream? Cause if sure isn’t mine.

Because of all the loss to taxpayers, that “illegal” number feels bigger. Way bigger.

Charlie Kirk understood this problem better than most.

At this point, 1/4 of the nation isn’t American…

Which is why what Newsmax host Dennis Michael Lynch is saying has struck a nerve.

Lynch is calling it what he believes it is: a flat-out lie. He lays out why he thinks the real figure is closer to a whopping 44 million. He also makes the case that even though Trump’s deported millions, the problem still feels huge.

What makes Lynch’s argument resonate with so many Americans isn’t just the math. It’s the feeling people have when they look around and realize the problem still feels so incredibly big. If millions upon millions of people were actually being removed, you’d expect to feel it a lot more. Sure, there have been some small improvements, but most Americans are still feeling the crushing pressure from the illegal influx.

And that’s where the suspicion grows. If the number really were as low as we’re told, this problem wouldn’t feel so permanent or so overwhelming right now, especially, thanks to President Trump’s efforts.

There’s also the part no one in the Swamp likes to say out loud. Tens of millions of people living here illegally, plus their future children, represent a massive new political voting bloc. At some point, you have to ask if any sane country would let this happen by accident or out of the “kindness” of their heart. This goes way beyond border chaos… it’s about power at the ballot box.

What Lynch is arguing for is really straightforward. He says Trump’s only option is mandatory E-Verify, and not the absurd half-enforced version we’ve been putzing around with for years. If employers are required to verify work eligibility and face real consequences for ignoring it, the jobs dry up, and the people stay home or leave.

Either way, we win.

If the real number is anywhere near what Lynch is suggesting, then everything about this debate changes. The scale changes, and the urgency changes.

The stakes likely just got a lot higher.
