Biden Sparks Unprecedented Surge in Illegal Immigration

President Joe Biden has overseen an unprecedented surge in immigration most of it illegal marking the largest influx in U.S. history, according to a New York Times analysis of government data. This crisis, spurred by the administration's lax border policies, has transformed the nation’s demographics and strained its resources.

From 2021 to 2023, the United States experienced a staggering net migration of 2.4 million people. This figure calculated as the total number of arrivals minus those who left represents a historic high. In total, over eight million individuals are estimated to have entered the country during Biden’s presidency, surpassing the population of 38 states.

Critically, this estimate excludes “gotaways,” illegal immigrants who evade capture by border officials. Experts suggest this number could inflate Biden’s immigration totals by another two million, further compounding the crisis.

Key Facts Highlighting the Surge:

• Immigration Milestone: The foreign-born population in the U.S. reached 15.2% in 2023, the highest percentage in over a century, surpassing the previous record of 14.8% set in 1890.

• Economic Consequences: The influx has directly impacted American workers, with the report warning that wage growth for Americans without college degrees will be lower for years due to increased competition from a massive pool of labor.

• Policy to Blame: The report explicitly points to Biden's open-border policies as the primary driver of this historic immigration spike.

The implications of this crisis extend beyond economics. Recent polling indicates a groundswell of support for Donald Trump’s plan to combat illegal immigration. Following the 2024 presidential election, a CBS/YouGov poll revealed that 45% of Americans believe mass deportations should be a “high priority”, while another 28% view it as a “medium priority.”

Trump, who has pledged to initiate the largest deportation program in history, is preparing to fulfill that promise. Appointing former Acting ICE Director Tom Homan as his border czar, Trump has reinforced his commitment to restoring control at the border and protecting American workers.

Polls also show bipartisan support for addressing illegal immigration:

• 74% of white respondents believe deportation should be a high or medium priority.

• 70% of black respondents and 69% of Hispanic respondents agree, showcasing widespread approval across racial demographics.

This united front underscores Americans’ frustration with the Biden administration’s mismanagement of the border crisis and their demand for decisive leadership.

The stakes could not be higher as the U.S. faces the consequences of unchecked immigration. Biden’s policies have failed, but the American people appear ready for the return of a leader who puts national security first.
