HILLARY'S 3 MILLION, HOW MANY ILLEGAL?

Trump is often criticized for claiming that his loss in the popular vote (by about 3 million votes) was laughable.  He was called a liar and disillusioned.

But the figures seem to support his contention.

The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC)  an objective and non partisan research organization released a summary of its research on illegal ( euphemistically termed "undocumented") immigrants in California.  Their  up to date figures indicate that there are presently more than 2 million illegals in California.  Even Govenor Jerry Brown accepts the figure "claiming that in California "they are all over the place" that ten (10) percent of the California labor force are undocumented (illegal). Most of this population is from Latin America.  Many live with family members who are citizens.

California labor participation rate is about 62.3% of the population.  The state population is about 40 million (in 2016).  Sixty two percent of the total population is: 40 x 0.623 = 24.9 million workers.  Of those the PPIC claims that about 10% are illegal immigrants.  Thus there may be as many as 2.5 million adult, working illegal immigrants living in California.  These people are motivated to vote, probably live among legal immigrants who do vote, and are of voting age. In California as in most states like New York and elsewhere...to vote you must simply give evidence of your residence.  No one is going to ask you for your immigration status or proof of where you were born.  The likelihood that these nearly three million illegal immigrants vote (illegally) is very good and not to be pooh poohed.

Then multiply this number from California by the 300 cities, states and legal jurisdictions that are termed "sanctuary" states, and cities and those numbers from California grow greatly.

It is very likely that a large percentage of those working, illegal immigrants do vote.  Does that rise to the level of impacting the election?  The staunch support the Democrats, who favor these voters--seems to suggest that they do.  They are  probably not as insignificant of a number as the Democrats would have one believe.

Do they rise to the level of the three million vote win in the popular vote that Hillary garnered in the Democrat wards in California and New York?  One can not say with certainty, but the numbers suggest that one who questions how many of those votes were cast by illegals--- is certainly not"delusional".

One must ask as well, can these illegal voters alter the outcome of elections?  Certainly they must in the 300 or more sanctuary cites, legal jurisdictions and states where large numbers of them reside.   Is that fair or just to those who are here legally that their votes are "diluted " by the admixture of immigrants who are here illegally?  Does that make a mockery of our system of immigration laws?
