About 14.3 million illegal aliens are living across the United States, according to a new study, costing American taxpayers roughly $132 billion a year.

An annually released report by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates that that illegal population living in the U.S. has risen nearly two million in two years, now standing at about 14.3 million illegal aliens.

FAIR analysts fault the increase in illegal aliens to an unsecured southern border, growing sanctuary city policies, widespread available U.S. jobs with no nationwide E-Verify mandate, an increase in social welfare programs, exploitable asylum laws, and the ongoing promise of amnesty by GOP and Democrat lawmakers.

The rise in the illegal population, FAIR analysts find, means illegal aliens are costing American taxpayers nearly $132 billion every year. That fiscal burden to Americans is set to grow even larger without major immigration-reducing reforms, according to the study.

“Unless the federal government takes meaningful action to eliminate the incentives that fuel illegal immigration, the total number of illegal aliens residing in the United States could surge to over 21 million by 2025, at a cost of nearly $200 million, annually,” FAIR analysts project.

The FAIR study is among many that have attempted to estimate the illegal population living in the U.S. Researchers from Yale University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have estimated an illegal population of 22 million, while Pew Research Center regularly cites an illegal population of 11 to 12 million.

As noted previously, the FAIR study confirms that the illegal population is largely concentrated in six states: California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois — four of which are sanctuary states where criminal illegal aliens are shielded from deportation.

California, for example, is home to more than three million illegal aliens with the broadest sanctuary state policy in the country. Texas has an illegal population of more than two million, and Florida is home to nearly 1.1 million illegal aliens despite both outlawing sanctuary city jurisdictions.

The sanctuary states of New York, New Jersey, and Illinois have a combined illegal population of about 2.22 million.

Illegal immigration is not only fiscally burdensome on American taxpayers to the sum of billions every year, but an increase of foreign workers in the U.S. labor market due to legal immigration levels — where about 1.2 million immigrants are admitted every year — reduces the wages of America’s working and middle class. Conversely, less immigration increases Americans’ wages.

Extensive research by economist George Borjas and analyst Steven Camarota reveals that the country’s current mass legal immigration system burdens working and middle class Americans while redistributing about $500 billion in wealth every year to major employers and newly arrived immigrants. Similarly, immigration keeps wages low for employers and stagnant for employees.

For every one-percent increase in the immigrant portion of American workers’ occupations, their weekly wages are cut by about 0.5 percent, Camarota finds. This means the average native-born American worker today has his weekly wages reduced by perhaps 8.75 percent.

Today, about 17.5 percent of the American workforce is made up of foreign-born workers. About 7.8 million of these foreign-born workers are illegal aliens living in the U.S., according to the latest analysis by Pew Research Center.

Liberals need to get used to the idea of a President Trump win in 2020. When every Democrat hopeful stood on that debate stage and raised their hands in support of free healthcare for illegals, they might as well have held up a ‘Trump 2020’ banner.

The tables that started to turn with the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement in 2016 have now been knocked over.

Ironically, Democrats have become the recipients of their own intolerance for any differing opinions. Fortunately for conservatives, it is futile for more centrist Democrats, if there are any, to try and convince far left, radical Dems there may be a better strategy than coddling illegals and race-baiting. Just try and tell the Squad, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters and Jerry Nadler to stop beating the drum for the President’s impeachment. 

Trump’s 2016 victory has outed the Democrats. It’s official. Democrats are the party of political violence, of antifa zombies, of killing babies about to be born and making the already born comfortable before killing them, of race hoaxes, of Russia hoaxes, of green new deal scams, of transgendered bathrooms, of  educational indoctrination, of gun confiscations, of criminals, of drug and human traffickers, of Bolshevik socialism, of sanctuary cities for MS-13 butchers, of censorship, of America-hating politicians, of hellhole American cities, of character assassinations and of a coup against a president duly elected by the people.

The Party not only embraces this platform of hate, misery and death, they demand we either see it their way through the lens of a socialist state, or we must be silenced. 

But what happens when you label 63 million American citizens racist, white supremacist, white nationalist, fascist, deplorable and Nazi every day, all day, for 3 years?

What happens if you censor stereotype, slander and assault anyone of any color if they do not agree with you?

What happens when members of Trump’s staff and cabinet are run out of restaurants and public places merely because of their political views?

What happens when Americans wearing MAGA hats are harassed, verbally abused, bullied and beat up by thugs who vote Democrat?

What happens when illegals are given a pass for murder, rape, gun possession, human trafficking and drug dealing while legal, innocent, taxpaying American citizens are treated like criminals?

What happens when enemies of the people in the past administration use their positions of power to try and bring down a U.S. President?

What happens is a revolution that has been simmering since the rise of the Tea Party in 2009.

After Trump’s MAGA victory in 2016 the deluded Democrats and their propagandists in the mainstream media went nuts. 

Three years later, they still do not get America or Americans.  In doubling and tripling down in their attacks on Trump, the legions of fake news practitioners, billionaire socialist globalists and political imposters in Congress have tested the patience of patriotic Americans.

One of the worst offenders is Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar. Gratefully, her hubris has done more to whittle away at the Democrats’ fake concern for Americans’ welfare than any other hack on Capitol Hill. Omar’s insidious hatred of America and Israel, not to mention her alleged immigration, tax and marriage fraud, is not going over well in her ‘home’ state. In 2016, Trump lost Minnesota by only 44,000 votes. Could Omar single-handedly flip Minnesota for Trump?

Somali gangs in Omar’s district have been caught on video viciously pummeling and robbing people. Police reports indicate there has been a 53 percent increase in these kind of robberies in Minneapolis since Omar’s election. Will Trump win in Minnesota because of Ilhan Omar? 

CNN’s Martin Savidge interviewed Northern Minnesotans in a former Democratic stronghold and found out there may be another reason President  Trump could add the state to the win column.

When Savidge asked the mayor of Eveleth, Minnesota, “Are we talking thousands of people sort of shifting and changing their politics?” The mayor, a Democrat, told Savidge “yep, yeah,” it’s a matter of “economics, he’s [President Trump] our guy.”  Savidge reported that many voters he spoke to in Eveleth also back the president’s crackdown on immigration, his easing of environmental regulations, and his support of the steel industry.

CNN is not the only anti-Trump media organization to understand Democrats may be on the verge of experiencing a bigger blowout loss than in 2016.

Bill Maher appeared on MSNBC ‘s Morning Joe last week. Maher said voters look for “strength, not weakness, and that’s what they see in Trump.” Scarborough cited the candidates’ “race to the far left” and asked Maher what he thought. “It’s not good… if you run on taking away people’s healthcare and taxing them too much and taking away their guns and trans women get (sic) abortion rights, I don’t think you’re gonna win this election.”

Buzzfeed, another online sinkhole where facts are not important, ran a September 5 article about the author’s July 4 weekend in DC with Bikers for Trump. While depicting the group of nearly 100,000 members as racist, hateful, drunk  and ignorant  rednecks, the writer, James Pogue, ended his piece, predictably entitled, “American Rage,”  with a useful insight.   Win or lose, says Pogue, with or without Trump in the White House for another four years, life will never be the same in America:

If Trump wins, they[Bikers for Trump] are a phalanx of loyalists in an ongoing revolution. If he loses, well, it’s hard to say what exactly will happen to the Bikers or in the country at large.

But it was impossible to be in DC that 4th of July weekend and imagine that this movement would somehow disappear. They were born out of opposition. Anyone who thinks that the next election will take things back to where they were is kidding themselves. This is only the beginning.

Pogue is no fan of Trump or his biker pals, but he’s right. With President Trump amassing huge crowds at rallies this past summer, the most recent on Sunday in Houston’s NRG stadium where over 50, 000 people gathered to hear President Trump and India’s Prime Minister Modi, this is indeed “only the beginning” of the Trump revolution.

Do you find yourself scratching your head wondering why your intelligent, moral, and Christian relatives and friends continue to support the Democratic party despite its amoral, anti-Christian, and anti-American agenda? A part of the problem is that for decades Republicans and conservatives have brought an olive branch to a gunfight, allowing progressives free rein to demonize Republicans and conservatives in the minds of many Americans. Trump is a rare Republican who understands the viciousness of our enemies within and is fighting back appropriately.

No matter how hard I try to educate relatives and friends about the benefits of conservatism and voting Republican, some persist in viewing me as an Uncle Tom black man betraying his people. Stenciled on their brains is the lie that conservatives and Republicans are selfish, rich, and racist white men who abuse and exploit everyone. Thank God for the #WalkAway Campaign and the Blexit movement in which youths, white and black, have finally seen the light and are exiting the Democratic party with its decades of lies and broken promises.

Still, there are Democratic walking brain-dead zombies who reject the truth that their party has been hijacked by hate-filled anti-Christian and anti-American progressives. The Bible speaks of unfortunate souls who prefer to embrace a lie rather than the truth. We must pray for them.

However, there are Democratic loyalists who simply do not realize what their “workingman’s” party has become. For example: A lifelong Democratic senior relative is excited about voting for Joe Biden for president.

This relative has no idea that Biden and his fellow Democrat presidential contenders demonically seek to legalize murdering babies after the child is born. In their perverted definition of women rights, Democrats say that a woman has the right to murder her healthy born baby. I pray for the right time to tell my senior relative the truth about Biden and her beloved Democratic party.

Progressives are extremely good at keeping their assaults on our culture off evening news broadcasts and the front page of the New York Times. Consequently, few Democratic voters know their party supports LGBTQ ideology being taught is schools beginning in pre-k. The LGBTQ curriculum in public schools mandates that students read I Am Jazz, about a boy whose insane parents began his sex change at three years old. The Pope and pediatricians say that teaching transgender ideology is child abuse. Hellbent on making the perverted sexual behavior of less than 3% of the population mainstream, Democrats seek to make it illegal to counsel anyone troubled by their same-sex attraction.

I doubt that the average Joe Democratic voter knows his presidential candidates welcome the invasion of illegals while promising them free healthcare, along with numerous other benefits unavailable to Joe and his fellow American citizens. Do loyal Democratic voters know that Democratic sanctuary cities protect illegals who rape and murder Americans?

San Francisco is a Democrat-controlled sanctuary city. A Democratic relative’s eyes almost popped out of her head as I told her about the poop maps distributed in San Francisco to help tourists avoid the piles of human excrement left by vagrants defecating on the streets. She knew nothing about the swiftly expanding massive tent cities, rat infestation, and resurgence of old diseases due to filth. She had no idea that rather than reversing their policies which are destroying the once beautiful city by the bay, Democrats are tripling down on their insane policies.

As I stated, progressives are masters at hiding their war on all things wholesome and good. I chatted with a Christian pastor at his church’s picnic. He never heard of the Equality Act, which Democrats have already successfully passed in the house.

In response to Scotus redefining marriage, this pastor’s church wrote in its by-laws that they will not perform homosexual weddings, nor rent their facilities for homosexual weddings. I explained to the pastor that the deceptively titled Equality Act will force his church to abandon its biblical convictions, making it illegal not to surrender to every demand of LBGTQ anti-Christian terrorists. A member said that about 40% of that church’s congregation is Democratic. I doubt those Democrats are aware of their party’s war on their religious liberty.

How many blue-collar Democratic voters know their party’s Green New Deal will kill jobs and destroy Trump’s booming economy? Within the next 12 years, their insane Green New Deal includes eliminating 99% of cars; eliminating air travel, banning affordable energy, banning meat, gutting and rebuilding every building in America, and numerous other outrageous environmental wacko demands.

A gentleman probably in his 90s was in front of me in the checkout line at the dollar store. This pleasant gentleman struck up a conversation with me about the weather. He said that the unusual humidity is the result of us not taking care of the environment. He said the Arctic icebergs are melting.

I thought, “Why bother trying to educate him? He is probably an old guy, stuck in his ways.” And yet, I felt guilty for not sharing the truth with the misinformed senior.

As we exited the store, I succinctly told him, “Sir, we cannot control the weather. Everything you are hearing in the news about us destroying the environment is a political attempt for government to take more control of our lives.” To my surprise, he replied, “I think you’re right.”

This is what we all must do, folks. We must begin speaking up rather than assuming we have lost the battle for the hearts and minds of our fellow Americans. My wife said that because she does not possess expert knowledge of every issue, she is reluctant to speak out when someone parrots Democratic and fake news media lies. I encouraged her to confidently share what she does know about an issue. Remember, God uses ordinary people. Your little becomes much when you place it in the Master’s Hand. Spread truth and trust God to reap positive results.
