Hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens are living in and around the nation’s capital, according to our conservative estimates.

The DMV — the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, which spills into Maryland and Virginia — is home to more than half a million illegals, with some credible sources indicating the true number may actually be far higher.

Border Hawk analyzed data from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Census Bureau, Pew Research Center, Cato Institute, Migration Policy Institute, and Data USA and arrived at the following estimated population figures for counties and cities in the DMV.

Washington, D.C.
Total population: 700,000
Illegal alien population: 31,000

Prince George’s County, MD
Total population: 970,000
Illegal alien population: 144,000

Montgomery County, MD
Total population: 1.05 million
Illegal alien population: 119,000

Arlington County, VA
Total population: 240,000
Illegal alien population: 16,000

Fairfax County, VA

Alexandria, VA

“It’s probably a lot higher. D.C. is chock full of them, and so is Baltimore,” a source in federal immigration enforcement told Border Hawk.
