Right, and that number includes (and is mostly due to) short term tourist visa overstays. The impact of that on tech workers is marginal. You're conflating tech worker visa overstays with non-tech worker visa overstays. And since tech worker visas are a small fraction (~1%) of visas granted, unless you're claiming that tech workers overstay at a much, much higher rate (like 20-30x the average), which isn't backed up by data, the number of tech workers here illegally due to visa overstays is indeed marginal. So I'll once again state that despite all your objections, a decent estimate of the number of high tech workers on visas is ~500K, maybe 600K at the top end. That includes all visas and all overstays.

> I'm telling you that the estimate of 11 Million is not even close

You're certainly welcome to continue believing that. It's not correct, but you're welcome to believe it.
