In 2018, in a paper that should have received more attention than it did, three researchers from Yale and MIT estimated about 22 million people — double the official figure — were living illegally in the United States.

Then the Europeans stooges go to war against Russia, but thanks to this pretext, the US doesn't get directly involved.

Ukraine gets the reinforcements it needs, staving off collapse.
