Last Month's Illegal Immigration Data

For John, BLUF:  We need to get a handle on immigration.  Maybe after 1 January and the new Congress.  Maybe.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Ivy League Study:  Illegal Population is 22 Million, Double Estb. Estimate

Here is the sub-headline:

The population of illegal migrants is roughly 22 million, or twice the establishment estimate of 11 million, say three professors from Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

From Breitbart, by Neil Munroe, 21 September 2018.

Here is the lede:

The shocking estimate will force establishment politicians and pro-migration advocates to recalculate the estimated impact of the huge illegal population on wages and salaries, on crime rates, welfare consumption, rental and real-estate prices, productivity rates, and the distribution of job-creating investment funds to coastal vs. heartland states.

Well, so much for Breitbart as predictor of future action.  I don't think this report moved the needle at all.

Maybe the Caravan from Central America will.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
