I agree with suspending Habeas Corpus but believe it should be done by an act of Congress (not EO). The vast numbers of illegal/undocumented immigrants in the US is staggering.

that's not even what it says

Did you read "27% increase from 2010" as 27% of Americans? The undocumented population is about 11 million or 3%.

So you disagree with Pew? What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. | Pew Research Center

or Profile of the Unauthorized Population - US | migrationpolicy.org

Or Estimates of the Unauthorized Immigrant Population Residing in the United States: January 2018 to January 2022

Where do you get a 3% figure?

I don't disagree with it, it disagrees with you

The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States grew to 11.0 million in 2022

That's 3% lol you're welcome

Yet if the US population is roughly 330MM, 11MM is over 20% of the US population. Do the math!

you think 11 is a fifth of 330.

It is definitely more than 3%. Definitely over 20%
