Yes, the number of undocumented immigrants is estimated to be about 12.5 million.

Why do you assume that all of the 5 million (I’ll take your word for it) were allowed in? Did those 5 million even come over the border or were there visa overstayers who flew in or entered legitimately? What about people who were allowed in, went through the court process and were then deported? Don’t exist, in your mind?

The numbers I posted include DACA and other folks who may be at less risk of prosecution but whose presence has not been converted.

Your stat about the number of foreign born and the percentage is wrong. Not the highest ever. Apparently it was higher in 1890. And that’s been going up since the 1970s. People travel more. So?

NO....the undocumented immigrant population was estimated at 22 million by the right-wing YALE UNIVERSITY in 2018.

Think it the illegal population has gone done?? Their upper end estimate is 29.2 million, which I think is still low.

Current foreign born in US is OVER 45 million greater than the population of Oregon and California COMBINED.

Hillary Franz the Lands Commissioner would make a good governor for a Democrat.

I thought she would be a total disaster in the mold of Goldmark. I do not agree with all her positions but she knows how to run a government agency and would probably do a pretty decent job of running the state from a liberal perspective.

I was not impressed with Yassar Affrats viewpoints, but the one time I ran into him on a fire. He was great. Knew his role as Governor and did not mess with the firefighting.

Those were the days when the 55 mph speed limit was enforced in eastern Washington, but not western Washington. So when Yassar came over the divide he drove fast and the State Patrol pulled him over and gave him tickets. He just paid them. Jay travels on the state plane. All you need to know about those two.

It would be interesting to hear more about Hillary Franz and her political thoughts on other issues besides land management.

She passes my threshold requirement about having basic intelligence no matter her the political leanings.

Well… Franz is out…
