New US record: Fifty-one million immigrants, nearly 20% of workforce
Washington Examiner ^ | March 28, 2024 | Paul Bedard

Jacked higher by President Joe Biden’s open-borders agenda, there are now more legal and illegal immigrants in America than at any other time in history.

At 51.1 million, the number isn’t just the highest ever, but so is the share at 15.5%, according to Census Bureau numbers reviewed by the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates enforcing border laws.

“Analysis of the Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey shows that 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. At 15.5%, the foreign-born share is also a new record in American history,” said the report.

“The enormous scale of immigration over the past three years has implications for nearly every aspect of American society, including public coffers, the labor market, schools, hospitals, and the balance of political power, to say nothing of whether we can assimilate this many people,” wrote the report’s authors, Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler.

The report has several highlights that focus on where the immigrants came from, their education levels, and the percentage of the American workforce they now account for.

But topping that list is who is to blame for the huge surge, and his name is Biden.

“Since President Biden took office in January 2021, the foreign-born population has grown by 6.4 million — larger than the individual populations of 33 states,” said the report.

Biden’s moves to crush former President Donald Trump’s border control has become a top election topic. Reports suggest he plans to address it by granting amnesty to those who have entered illegally, a move sure to inflame the topic further.

By comparison, said CIS, “At 172,000 a month, the average increase in the foreign-born under President Biden is four times the 42,000 average monthly increase under Trump before COVID-19 hit and double the 68,000 average under Obama.”

What’s more, wrote Camarota and Zeigler, “If current trends continue, the foreign-born population will reach nearly 60 million and 17.5% of the U.S. population by the end of a second Biden term — both figures would be without any precedent in American history.”

Most of the immigrants are from Latin America.

Most have poor education levels. Some 44% have no post-high school education.

And they are gobbling up U.S. jobs. “In February 2024, the 31 million immigrant workers accounted for 19.3 % of workers — both new record highs. Compared to February 2020, right before COVID, the number of immigrant workers is up 3.3 million, while the number U.S.-born workers is down by one million,” said the report.

And figuring this counts half, that is now 100 million illegals. Yes, figure most are illegal.

So let’s get going with the TV and radio ads. Targeted to black people and legal Latino citizens——displaced-—never given the free hotel rooms and debit cards for cash-—not criminals let out of prisons to cross the border.

Plus the average person who is young and trying to make a starter job living or go to college with one. Downward salary pressure for under the table illegals paid a pittance.

Si. I mean, yes.

Be sure to press 4 if you want English on the phone menu.

And check the backs of the food packages and cans for the little English section.

A massive deportation movement must happen. Put every government worker, including the IRS, every 3 letter agency, all the military/National Guard we can spare, all to help ICE return these freeloading liars to some distant land away from where they are not wanted.

At the same time indict every single politician, government worker, assistant, etc. etc. who made this possible to begin with on the basis of not holding up the oath they took when they entered office. Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to China or some other commie country since they chose to be traitors. That would be the most lenient sentence they deserve.

Pardon every single J6 political hostage then using the assets of those who incarcerated them and those who helped the 50M illegals enter the USA, make them rich without a need to work for the rest of their lives.

This would be a good start but so much more should happen to get this Titanic straightened out from the heavy port side list caused by the ugly commies and rinos.

But, that philandering a$$hat, Ted Kennedy, said it would be just this one time that we would have to let them all stay, and that was 50+ years ago.
Since then? Two more amnesties. And another is on its way. Folks, it’s time to start letting your congress critters know that AMNESTY IS OFF THE TABLE, and votes to the contrary should have significant career consequences, no matter the party affiliation.

“... 51.1 million...”

Does that include all of the criminal, illegal, alien invaders?
