These are not the records we want to be breaking… The results have just come in and Biden’s border blunder has given us the largest immigrant population, legal and illegal, in over 100 years.
“The number of immigrants in the U.S. – both illegal and legal – has hit an all-time record high, with a Monday report showing 46.2 million foreign-born people are living in the country.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies report on the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Study (CPS), immigrants made up 14.2 percent of the U.S population as of November 2021.
This figure is the highest the U.S. immigration population has been in 111 years. It is also triple the share of the population since 1970 and double since 1990.
In 2021, the U.S. saw record-breaking surges in immigration with illegal crossing over the southern border with Mexico as Joe Biden took office and loosened restrictions coupled with legal immigration spikes after Donald Trump lost reelection.
While legal immigration does contribute to the record-high number, illegal immigration is the main contributor to the latest numbers.
Customs and Border Protection data shows they have encountered at the southern border more than 1.75 million migrants illegally crossing or attempting to seek asylum in the U.S.
Numbers released this last week show CBP encountered 173,620 illegal crossers in November alone – an uptick from the October crossings of 164,753.”
“Demographer and chief author of the report Steven Camerota explained, according to The Washington Times: ‘There was pent-up demand for legal immigration, and illegal immigration has exploded in one of the greatest surges, if not the greatest, we’ve ever seen.’
‘It’s driving the numbers up and up and up,’ he added.
CBP officials saw a 140 percent uptick in illegal crossings at the southern border last month from November 2020, when there were only 72,113 encounters.”
This is all because Biden practically gave us an open border, and to top it off he campaigned to grant all of the illegals living here citizenship. So he not only opened the border, he motivated all of these migrants to come here with a guarantee of citizenship, and it looks like his plan worked.
