1.8 million more illegal immigrants living in the U.S. since the start of the Biden administration:
New census numbers indicate that 1.8 million illegal immigrants have settled in the U.S. since President Biden took office, powering a surge in the ratio of foreign-born to native-born residents, according to a new report Thursday.
The Center for Immigration Studies says there are now 47.9 million immigrants — legal and illegal — now in the U.S.
That’s 14.6% of the total population, and if trends continue the country will set a record for the largest share of immigrants by the middle of next year. That will cross the previous high of 14.8% set around the turn of the 20th century.
All told, some 2.9 million more immigrants now live in the U.S. than did in January 2021, when Mr. Biden was sworn in. Among those are the 1,8 million illegal immigrants — a population larger than the size 12 states, including West Virginia, Hawaii, New Hampshire and Maine.
“The new data reflects the ongoing crisis at the border created by the Biden administration policies that are encouraging so many illegal immigrants to come into the country,” said Steven A. Camarota, the lead researcher on the new study, which relies on numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey.

The current record from the early 20th century saw 14.8% of the population hail from other nations.
"The new data reflects the ongoing crisis at the border created by the Biden administration policies that are encouraging so many illegal immigrants to come into the country," said Steven A. Camarota, the lead researcher on the U.S. Census Bureau's monthly Current Population Survey, per the outlet.
Migrant encounters at the southern border have reached an all-time high, with border authorities encountering 2.4 million migrants in fiscal year 2022 and nearly 4 million under the Biden administration in total. The current asylum system allows for border authorities to release migrants into the U.S. while they await a court hearing to process their asylum claims, though many do not ever show up --->READ MORE HERE
