The largest-ever surge in illegal immigration occurred under Joe Biden‘s watch, according to the left-leaning New York Times, which laid the blame directly on the senile president.
The conclusion was based on an analysis of government data and confirms what President-elect Donald Trump has been warning about for the past four years.
The report said that between 2021 and 2023, the total net migration into the U.S. was 2.4 million. Under Biden’s presidency, more than eight million people entered the country, which is more than the populations of at least 38 states. Moreover, that number is likely to be much higher, with estimates of a further two million referring to those who evade capture by border officials or “getaways” that are not included in official statistics.
According to NYT, the flood of illegal immigration has “caused the share of the U.S. population born in another country to reach a new high, 15.2 percent in 2023, up from 13.6 percent in 2020,” adding, “the previous high was 14.8 percent, in 1890.” This was all down to border policies, which the report says was the “biggest factor.”
The surge in illegal immigration means “wage growth for Americans who did not attend college will be lower than it otherwise would have been for the next few years,” the report notes.
Trump’s plans to enact a mass deportation program upon taking office are now supported by the majority of Americans, according to various polls.
YouGov conducted one such poll on behalf of CBS News, which surveyed 2,232 adults and found that 45 per cent of respondents said that Trump’s effort to “deport immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally” should be a “high priority.” Another 28 percent said that it should be “medium priority.” Meanwhile, just 27 percent said it should not be a priority.
With Biden still in office, Democrats are now demanding he get as many illegal immigrants into the country as possible before Trump takes office. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and Alex Padilla (D-CA) demanded Biden ward large groups of illegal aliens with immigration benefits before he leaves office.
In a letter to Biden, the senators wrote:
“In addition to supporting strong border security, we are eager to ensure that DACA recipients, TPS holders, and other immigrants who are critical members of our communities and economies are not forgotten during this busy time.”
“What I take is what I hear from this incoming administration, they’re going to engage in mass deportation and nobody is safe,” Cortez Masto told MSNBC this week.
“That’s why I’m asking the administration to come in now to protect some of the immigrant communities — TPS recipients, DACA recipients.”
