    Slick donald has done it again. It's amazing how he can take another whippin' and convince his base that he won again. He makes a speech how he has wisely beat the Supreme Court decision by signing an executive order to obtain the information he wanted regarding citizenship. He even went so far as to have his puppet, Barr, congratulate him for his outstanding work. The only problem is his executive order didn't accomplish anything. It allows him to get information that was already available to him.

    Yah it’s pretty funny the way he and his supporters are celebrating a loss. I don’t know if they are naive or just good cheerleaders. I suspect it’s some of both.

    Yes, that seems to be the new right wing thrust.

    For years, the man in the right wing’s AM radios told them not to trust the press.

    Then, when Wikipedia developed the unfortunate habit of referring to right wing groups as right wing groups, the man in the radio and the Fox man told the right not to trust Wikipedia, and they created Conservapedia.

    Now it’s social media’s turn. Now that the door has been at least partially closed on Russian hackers, front groups and fake news, the right wing needs to fear and mistrust the same social media that unknowingly let the Russians promote their hero.

    It’s really not surprising.

    At every turn, the voices of the far right has consistently told their audience never to trust anyone but them.

    And then the lie to and mislead their audience, and peddle Wall Street’s agenda.

    This is the game Trump has always played.

    He even declared victory when his casinos were underwater and he needed daddy to bail him out.

    He’s tell people that he built the big beautiful wall until the day he dies.

    If you can subtract you can find out how many illegals are in the country.

    Subtract from what? Many illegals have false SS numbers.

    Not all non citizens are illegal. It’s a shame you didn’t know that.

    Wrong. This info has never been calculated. This is why the number of illegals has remained 11 million. We know there are more.

    That was never the goal and them lying to the court is why it’s not going to happen.

    It's a shame the left wants to make sure that the number of illegals is kept unknown.

    Do we know how many US citizens there are? Do we know how many people are here on a visa?
    Subtract that from the census total. Viola!

    The census does not ask citizenship so no, not really.

    Seems social security should have a pretty accurate count.

    The estimates of the total number of immigrants in the U.S. come from two Census Bureau surveys: the American Community Survey (ACS) and the Current Population Survey (CPS). Both ask people where they were born, whether they’re U.S. citizens and so forth – but not whether they’re here legally. From those surveys, we get a number for what’s called the “foreign-born” population. Previous estimates we published used the CPS for most years, but now we’re using the ACS data for 2005 and later years and the CPS data for before 2005.

    Now subtract those here legally.
