Illegal immigrant population grew by 1 million in Biden’s first year, analysis finds; Report: Illegal Aliens in U.S. Up 1M Under Biden, Total now 15.5M, Costing Taxpayers $143.1 Billion a Year, and related stories

Illegal immigrant population grew by 1 million in Biden’s first year, analysis finds:

The illegal immigrant population in the United States increased by roughly 1 million during President Joe Biden ‘s first year in office, according to a new analysis.

A study from the Federation for American Immigration Reform viewed by Fox News estimates that the population of illegal immigrants had jumped from 14.5 million in 2020 up to 15.5 million. The analysis from the conservative group found that the increased numbers cost taxpayers at least $143.1 billion, a $9.4 billion increase from 2020.

FAIR, which favors strong border security, attributed the increased number of illegal immigrants to the following: an improving economy after the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and Biden rolling back Trump-era immigration policies.

“Businesses are once again hiring, and many unscrupulous employers are using this as an opportunity to turn to reliably cheap labor to undercut the market and make up for lost profits resulting from economic shutdowns stemming from the pandemic ,” the study said of the economy. “These unethical hiring practices occur even though millions of Americans remain unemployed or underemployed.” —>READ MORE HERE

Report: Illegal Aliens in U.S. Up 1M Under Biden, Total now 15.5M, Costing Taxpayers $143.1 Billion a Year:

The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) released an analysis using U.S. Census Bureau data that shows the illegal alien population has ballooned since Joe Biden took office by one million, bringing the national overall total to 15.5 million at a taxpayer cost of $143.1 billion a year.

Just over the course of Biden’s first year as president the cost to taxpayers for the new one million illegals is $9.4 billion.

The summary of the FAIR report stated:

These staggering increases in both the size of the illegal alien population and the cost to the American public are a direct result of policies put in place since President Biden took office, concludes the report.

The report, “2021 Update: How Many Illegal Aliens Live in the United States?,” reveals how a slew of policy changes both at the border and in the interior of the country propelled rapid surges in both the magnitude and the costs of illegal immigration. Specifically, upon taking office, the Biden administration canceled agreements with Mexico and governments in Central America, and terminated border wall construction. These policies were effectively deterring new illegal immigration before President Biden came to office, and allowed for the expedited return of most of those caught entering the country illegally.
