In recent research analysis it has been revealed that illegal immigration in the United States has surged under the Biden presidency. The study utilized the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) to estimate the size of the illegal immigrant population, showing a significant increase of 1.13 million individuals between January 2021 and January 2022. This rise marks a reversal from the declining trend seen during the previous administration.
According to the findings, the estimated number of illegal immigrants reached 11.35 million in January 2022, with a preliminary estimate of 11.46 million in February. Interestingly, these figures are comparable to the estimated 11.48 million in January 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. This suggests that the surge in illegal immigration has effectively nullified the progress made in addressing the issue during the Trump administration.
The analysis further highlights that the total foreign-born population, encompassing both legal and illegal immigrants, reached a record high of 46.7 million in February 2022, representing a notable increase of 1.7 million since January 2021. These figures underscore the significance of addressing the broader challenges posed by immigration, as both legal and illegal immigration contribute to the overall impact on society.
The monthly CPS methodology used in this study provides a more timely and current assessment of the situation compared to the Census Bureau's annual American Community Survey (ACS). While the ACS produces more statistically robust estimates, its delay in releasing data prevents a real-time understanding of the evolving conditions. By utilizing the CPS, the researchers were able to offer more up-to-date insights into the current state of illegal immigration.
The implications of this surge in illegal immigration are substantial. If the current trends continue, the number of illegal immigrants is expected to surpass pre-pandemic levels, posing significant challenges for border security and the nation as a whole. The findings also indicate that illegal immigrants accounted for over two-thirds of the overall increase in the foreign-born population since January 2021.
As the 1776 United Coalition remains steadfast in its commitment to safeguarding life and championing the freedoms of all Americans, the organization calls attention to the urgency of addressing the issue of illegal immigration. The need for effective border security and immigration policies that prioritize the safety and well-being of American citizens has become increasingly evident.
The 1776 United Coalition will continue to monitor the situation closely and advocate for responsible immigration policies that uphold the principles on which the nation was founded. The consequences of uncontrolled illegal immigration affect not only the integrity of our borders but also the security and prosperity of our great nation.
