U.S. Foreign-Born Population Booms With Biden
avatar By BOB DANE November 9, 2021 1 Comment
The U.S. immigrant population increased 1.6 million during the past year, driven by loosened border security and easing COVID restrictions. Reversing a 2019-2020 decline, legal and illegal migration rebounded to raise the foreign-born population to 45.4 million, with more to come.
Census data analyzed by the Center for Immigration Studies reflect a surge of illegal crossings at the southern border, the restarting of visa processing at American consulates overseas and increasing returns of international travelers in recent months.
Illegal immigration grew dramatically in the last year, as apprehensions at the southern border soared to all-time highs. But apprehension does not necessarily mean removal. FAIR has reported how expansive migrant classifications currently used by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) allow formerly “inadmissible” aliens into the country. “Gotaways” who elude Border Patrol altogether have also increased, while interior arrests and deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plummet.
