The TikTok and Instagram folks @clipthecrisis have a controversial tagline: “showcasing the collective brain cell of the right.” So, they have a perspective. That said, I think this clip is genuinely useful for class or community talks:

The answers may seem obvious, but I’m not sure I would’ve known them before I became an immigration scholar. You could start by offering a poll–either looking for open-ended responses or choosing from a list of 4 possibilities. See where people’s estimates are at. Correct the record. Then show this video to normalize getting things wrong. 

As for the real numbers:

Current US Population: 341.4 million

Current Undocumented Population (Estimated): 13.7 million
