New estimate says U.S. now has 13.7 million illegal immigrants, up 37% under Biden
If the above article did not nauseate you enough and you need just a little more bad news to bring up the rest of your supper, READ THESE stats of the current U.S. Foreign Born Population:
The total foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a new record high of 51.4 million in February 2024 — an increase of 6.4 million since President Biden took office.
In February 2024, the foreign-born population in the United States hit a new high of 51.4 million and 15.5 percent of the U.S. population — surpassing all prior records.
If current trends continue, the foreign-born population will reach nearly 60 million and 17.5 percent of the U.S. population by the end of a second Biden term — both figures would be without any precedent in American history.
The immigrant workers have made the nation’s aggregate GDP several hundred billion dollars larger. However, per-person GDP, not aggregate GDP, determines the standard of living.
Immigration tends to lower per-person GDP because it causes the population to grow faster than the economy.
