Original Note:
Loomer is falsely implying there are 65M illegal immigrants in the U.S. In fact, it's estimated there are ~11-12M. On the exact same day as Loomer first used the figure *65M*, Senate Republicans used the figure *9.65M*. It appears she misread or misconstrued this. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/ https://cmsny.org/us-undocumented-population-increased-in-july-2023-warren-090624/ https://x.com/senategop/status/1790879946170069011 https://x.com/lauraloomer/status/1790911664314798190
