An infographic shared on social media platform X has prompted widespread debate after revealing illegal immigrants outnumbered American births for the first time ever under Joe Biden’s administration.
The data shows a notable increase in arrivals of illegal newcomers since Biden took office in January 2021.
The COVID-19 pandemic saw a drop in unlawful crossings which stood at around 70,000 per month before travel restrictions were heavily enforced worldwide. After a prolonged dip, this figure rose back up to 70,000 when then-President Donald Trump left the White House.
Since taking office, Biden – along with border czar Vice President Kamala Harris – have overseen large volumes of illegal aliens enter the United States.
The level of unlawful newcomers has continued to rise under the Democrats, peaking at 400,000 in December 2023. In fact, the end of last year saw six continuous months of illegal aliens outnumbering American births in terms of new residents.
Some on social media questioned whether this supported claims of permitting new arrivals in order to improve electoral chances in November.
Other users highlighted the fact that not all illegal immigrants are accounted for under government data – meaning the numbers are even more bleak than they appear.
