The illegal immigrant population has more than quintupled in key swing states since 2021, fueling concerns that mass immigration could impact the outcome of the November elections.
A MarketWatch report detailed the estimated increase in the illegal immigrant population in the seven battleground states that will help decide the outcome of the presidential election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. The drastic surge in the illegal immigrant populations of key battleground states has added to concerns that the Democratic Party is using mass immigration to achieve political power, as recent immigrants vote overwhelmingly for Democrats.
Michigan, which carries 15 Electoral College votes, saw a 775 percent increase in its illegal immigrant population. President Joe Biden beat Trump in the midwest state in 2020 by roughly 150,000 votes, Trump won it in 2016 by just over 11,000 votes. Arizona saw a 734 percent increase in the number of illegal immigrants residing in the state, while Nevada experienced a jump of 562 percent. Biden beat Trump in Arizona by less than 11,000 votes.
