Illegal immigrant population reached 14 million under Biden in 2023
 
The United States's illegal immigrant population soared to an all-time high of 14 million people in 2023 as millions of people illegally crossed into the country from Mexico during the Biden administration's border crisis, according to a new report.

The Washington-based Pew Research Center revealed on Thursday that the number of illegal immigrants in the country rose by 3.5 million people by 2023 and continued to go higher during former President Joe Biden's final year in office.
 
"In the years after the COVID-19 pandemic, U.S.immigration policy changes fueled a sharp rise in both legal and illegal immigration," Pew stated in its report. "Lawful admissions jumped, as did encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border between migrants and U.S. authorities."

At the start of Biden's term, roughly 10.5 million illegal immigrants resided in the U.S. All data, including that from 2023 and years past, was based on an analysis of Census Bureau data from the American Community Survey.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Figure that for an undercount by a factor of two, minimum.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Does that include 'refugees' and 'assylum seekers'?

Biden let in Afghans, Ukrainians, Venezuelans, and Hatians in large numbers.

I'm fine with the Afghans if they are the ones that assisted US troops.

I'm okay with the Ukrainians staying temporarily or pursuing paths to permanent residence and citizenship.  Many are intelligent, educated, and hard working.  Not sitting on their asses waiting for a Government check.  Making the most of the opportunities available to them.  They are also very appreciative to have the opportunity to be in America.

Boston has a large Hatian population.  No big whoop, but the US Government and the Organization of American States need to stabilize Haiti for the long-term.

Venezuleans?  Give them rifles, and send them back to overthrow the Maduro regime.

The United States Government and the Organization of American States need to do more to prevent failed nations in the Western Hemisphere.

We're wasting too much blood, treasure, and political capital in the Middle East.  We don't need their oil any more, plus, Venezuela is in our neighborhood if we need oil.

A Venezuela government aligned with the US could be provide petro-poltical leverage in America's dealings with Middle East and Russia.
