A new study just released by the Public Policy Institute of California has estimated that there are 563,000 illegal aliens living in the San Francisco Bay area.

Researchers largely relied on the tax return data of those who used an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, which is reserved for taxpayers who do not have a Social Security number.

The study found that within the Bay area, Santa Clara County has the most illegal aliens with 180,000, followed by Alameda County with 124,000 and Contra Costa County with 79,000.

The 500,000 illegal aliens in San Franciso are at least half from China and Asia.

The almost 3 million illegal aliens in California are predominantly from Mexico.

But I say there are many more than that. Los Angeles alone has well over a million illegal aliens from Mexico.
