Data from the Migration Policy Institute shows that undocumented immigrants are not predominantly military-aged men, contradicting Alex Jones' claims.

So more importantly, Alex is just straight up lying about this demographic breakdown of immigrant populations. This is a set of data put out by the Migration Policy Institute, which is a group Alex would absolutely hate. They have an advocacy for immigrants. By their estimate, there are approximately 11 million unauthorized persons living in the United States. And Alex is claiming that this report says that they are mostly military-aged men. A simple scroll down the data shows that 46% or over 5 million are women. A further 5% are under the age of 16. Another 25% are people over the age of 45, which we can assume is past prime military recruitment age. The image that Alex is painting just isn't justified by the data.
