#PSA Important #statistics to remember for #USPol #Immigration discussion...

Between 12% and 14% of the #US #population is #noncitizens, which includes #Visa Holders, Legal Permenant Residents without #Citizenship, and #Undocumented / #UnauthorizedImmigrants / #IllegalImmigrants.

Only 3% to 4% of the #USpopulation is estimated to be here illegally. That means, even if every last one was #deported, it would at most be only a 3% or 4% reduction of people in the housing and job markets.

It would also mean a massive expansion of the ICE budget, as it was streamlined by every other administration going back to Reagan: any significant increase over Obama and Biden's massive #deportation numbers will have an increasing cost.

Remember that these people also pay #taxes, but do not receive ANY government funding, meaning it would be entirely a loss of government funds with very little saved.

Important to remember if anyone claims this will help the economy: that is #misinformation.
