This startling revelation comes from a recent analysis that has left many astounded.
Between 2021 and 2024, the US experienced an average annual influx of 2.4 million immigrants, as reported by the Congressional Budget Office. A Goldman Sachs analysis found that approximately 60% of these migrants entered the US illegally. The total net migration during the Biden administration is projected to surpass 8 million, outpacing the rate of new arrivals during the 1850s, a period when the proportion of foreign-born residents skyrocketed, according to a New York Times analysis.
Ira Mehlman, a spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), expressed his frustration with the administration's handling of the situation. "For the past four years, we’ve been hearing from the administration, it’s not a problem… And the American public knows when they’re being lied to," he stated. Mehlman believes that this issue significantly influenced the recent election.

Experts attribute this massive surge to President Biden's welcoming message to asylum seekers upon taking office in 2021, coupled with his lenient catch-and-release policies at the border and generous immigration courts. Lora Ries, the Director of the Border Security and Immigration Center at The Heritage Foundation, told The New York Post, "What Biden created day one was chaos." She added, "He definitely opened the borders. He sent the signal loud and clear and the world responded coming illegally."

This influx of immigrants contributed to a 0.6% annual increase in the population during this period, mirroring the migration patterns of the Ellis Island era in the 1850s. According to the CBO and US Census Bureau, America's foreign-born population now constitutes a record 15.2% of the US, surpassing the previous high of 14.8 percent in 1890, just two years before Ellis Island opened to manage the influx of immigrants.

However, the actual size of the surge is likely even larger than government data suggests due to the reliance on the decennial US Census, which often receives fewer responses from migrants concerned about their legal status. Mehlman, from FAIR, argues that this unchecked illegal migration is costing taxpayers over $150 billion annually.

The CBO predicts that wage growth for Americans without a college education will be lower in the coming years due to this surge. The majority of this immigration surge can be traced back to the Biden administration's relaxation of the stringent policies implemented by President-elect Donald Trump, along with a peak in asylum approval rates of 52.6% in September 2023.

The US began experiencing this surge in immigration in 2021, following the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers reported nearly 2 million encounters that year. These encounters spiked to over 2.3 million in 2021, 3.3 million in 2022, and 2.3 million in 2023, according to CBP data.
Jessica Vaughan, director of policy studies at the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, believes that this surge in migration has negatively impacted almost every aspect of American life for citizens and legal residents. "I think there has been a lot of attention on the public safety and national security risks of this," she told The Post. "But the problem of the distortion of our labor markets and the impact on Americans and to a lesser extent, legal immigrants in these communities that have had to absorb all these migrants, that story has not been told," she added.

However, history may be on the verge of repeating itself. Trump has pledged to clamp down on immigration and initiate mass deportations for those who entered the US illegally. A significant backlash against immigration occurred in the US following the boom in the late 1800s, culminating in the Immigration Act of 1924, which severely restricted migration to America. This law and other policies that excluded immigration from certain regions led to a decades-long decline in America's foreign-born population before it was repealed in 1965 in favor of a more inclusive policy under then-President Lyndon Johnson.
