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.

...So 54% of these illegals have 'some college'? That's not equal to 'most have poor education'... But either way, that's complete bullshit. I'd bet maybe 5% have some college, if even that. 50%+ probably don't even have high school degrees!

“And they are gobbling up U.S. jobs”

Because Affirmative Action laws require it.

670 million “hispanics” South of our border and in Spain all qualify as “oppressed minorities”, victims of the Evil Americans, and it must be redressed by ruthless discrimination against said Americans.

Basically the courts and the EEOC have mandated that we turn the country over to them.

I’m old with not many years left but I got to experience this country before it went to feces. Is the best of the free life behind us now and are the good times really over for good?

An invasion subsidized by our government with money they stole from us just so they can continue to steal and abuse us. Nice.

We have to end the H1-B program and send back all illegals.

Close the university loophole that lees students linger here, too.

We need immigrants. But we need to control our borders so we’ll have security. Both things can be true.

Why is “illegal immigrant” so hard to say today? Around 20 years ago my brother got a gig teaching English to to students in Vienna Austria. When his visa ran out, he said two days later two immigration officers knocked on his door and they kicked him out of the country. Here they don’t even need a visa and they get to stay forever.

Trump's CLEAN UP of this mess through DEPORTATION may take 24 to 30 months but it WILL BE REVERSED!

It'll give the MSM something to whine, cry, and condemn while the American Public cheers on Trump's efforts.

I’m definitely hearing less English language spoken when I’m out and about.

Same here. It's disturbing.

Many overstayed their visas. Many were Muslims entering during WJC administration—disappeared into our population.

In the local Dollar Tree store, a dozen 8-11 years-old Spanish-speaking children pressed into the aisles. As this was a hot day in Florida, most were shirtless—including the girls! At another Dollar Tree store south of Orlando, about half were speaking Spanish. At “Ollies”, everyone!

Dollar Tree stores now have bilingual packaging with equally-sized fonts. The instructions are in such a small font, they’re difficult to read.
