Sensible question. Nobody even knows how many undocumented people are in a country - because they’re undocumented.

This has to be a made up figure. The sentiment might be correct but the data is dubious.

It’s explained upthread. You can get an ITIN to pay taxes if you don’t have a Social Security Number. The estimate is from the amount collected by the IRS from people with ITINs.
