The impact of 10 million undocumented immigrants on America is debated, with concerns raised about potential job displacement for native workers.
Under President Biden’s administration, a record 7.3 million illegal aliens have crossed the southwest border; according to Fox News, this figure is higher than the combined populations of 36 separate states.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection provided that figure. In the current fiscal year, which runs from October to September, the agency has already reported 961,537 Southwest land border encounters. If the current rate of illegal immigration does not slow down, fiscal year 2024 will break last year’s record of 2,475,669 southwest border encounters, a number that by itself exceeds the population of New Mexico.
During a rally in Reno, Nevada, while attacking the immigration policies of Joe Biden, Trump vowed the largest deportation in American history if elected.
7,298,486 interactions with the southwest land border have occurred since Biden took office in 2021, according to CBP data.
36 U.S. states—Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming—have a population that is greater than that of that number.
In actuality, the blue states are the only ones that are safe from being “replaced”.
About the biggest U.S. states, the 7.3 million figure represents roughly 18.7% of the 39 million people that live in California, 23.9% of the 31 million people that live in Texas, 32.3% of the people that live in Florida, and 37.3% of the people that live in New York. Its size is more than half that of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois combined.
If all of the illegal immigrants who entered the country under President Biden came together to create a metropolis, it would be the second-largest in the country behind New York, as Fox News vividly depicts.
Sadly, that number does not account for the estimated 1.6 million more illegal immigrants who are thought to have entered the country illegally, nor the 1.8 million known “gotaways” who have eluded authorities, making the total larger than the population of New York.
When combined, almost 10 million people have entered the country illegally under the Biden administration—a figure that detractors of Biden claim could only be attained by willfully ignoring the law.
“This extraordinary increase in undocumented immigrants is not a coincidence. It is the outcome of the Biden administration’s intentional policy decisions, according to Eric Ruark, Director of Research at Numbers USA, an organization that supports immigration restrictions.
While some Republicans and anti-illegal immigration activists have blamed Biden for allowing the current overwhelming surge of migrants by undoing former President Donald Trump’s border policies, the White House has denied responsibility for the crisis and blamed external “push” factors like violence and economic instability in South and Central America for the massive waves of migration to the United States. This is evident in the chart above when comparing alien entrants under Trump and Biden.
Opponents of the president counter that because immigrants are aware that Biden’s lax immigration laws will not result in their expulsion, they have greater “pull” factors in the form of government subsidies and employment prospects.
“The administration has refused to enforce existing immigration law and taken every opportunity to aid and abet illegal border crossings — through policies such as catch-and-release, mass parole, and offering temporary work permits to tens of thousands of foreigners who make dubious claims for asylum,” Ruark told Fox News Digital. “In actual effect, the United States government is completing the human smuggling and trafficking process for the Mexican cartels.”
Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) spokesman Ira Mehlman stated that for the past three years, immigrants have been informed they will not be deported for entering the country without authorization.
“They have sent the signal that if you come to the U.S. illegally, if you abuse the asylum system, you’ll be released into the country and allowed to remain here, in most cases given work authorization,” Mehlman said. “Even if you neglect to show up for your hearings, the odds of you being removed are negligible. The president claims he doesn’t have the authority to enforce our laws. He absolutely does. He is deliberately not enforcing those laws.”
As we previously reported, since 2018, all of the positions have gone to non-native-born individuals, which essentially means illegal immigrants. This is another reason why the Biden administration has hesitated to take tough measures against illegal immigration.
Since then, establishment economists and insane fools like Paul Krugman and Jerome Powell have argued that illegal immigrants are good for the economy because they fill jobs that Americans are “too lazy” to do and because they have lowered wage inflation. The CBO, however, has gone one step further and predicted that the increase in illegal immigration will increase the labor force in the US by a significant amount compared to earlier projections.
Phill Swagel, the director of the CBO, went so far as to forecast that “from 2023 to 2034, GDP will be greater by about $7 trillion and revenue will be greater by about $1 trillion than they would have been otherwise as a result of those changes in the labor force.”
The Washington Post’s in-house propagandist posed the rhetorical question, “Got that?” Not only is illegal immigration not harmful, but it also benefits the nation greatly by allowing Americans to continue being indolent, lowering wage inflation, and ultimately increasing GDP by trillions. The US should gladly accept 100 million or more illegal immigrants instead of just 10 million, and be grateful to the Biden administration for coming up with this brilliant theory of common sense, sanity, and of course population replacement. The only thing standing between the US and a new golden age of growth is this.
Of course, check out the most recent video note from Tucker for a far more sobering assessment of the situation. In it, he states “mass immigration is completely destroying our country.”
