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.

There’s 50 illegals alone now.

CIS is a great organization but the source of this data is the US Census which is designed to hide the numbers of illegals.

“We are Rome ready to be sacked.”

I don’t think being ready to be sacked is a coincidence.

This is apparently happening to all of western culture. It seems like the self-hating mostly White elitists are of the same mental illness by wanting to destroy what made them rich in the first place.

This will be difficult to reverse. Trump appears to be the only one truly motivated to try, and that’s why he will never ever be allowed to be President again.

So, illegals are taking the USA jobs Biden keeps saying he created. This needs to be a Republican ad.

Since they are 20% of the workforce some are them are paying for free stuff. They are also propping up the sacred monthly checks. If you get one just know it’s made possible to an ever increasing share by an immigrant.

I get a monthly Social Security check. So you're saying that illegal immigrants are helping to pay for my SS, and we need millions to do that?

10s of millions.

It doesn’t have to be that way but that’s how it is.

SS started with 45 workers and 1 recipient. Now it’s less than 3:1. By 2030 it’s 2:1.

So if you’re collecting $30k. Three people are paying you $10k apiece. In 2030 it will be two people paying $15k. Now imagine if there are 20% less workers.
