New data from the Census Bureau and Bureau of Labor Statistics shows a dramatic increase in the number of foreign-born persons in the United States under Team Biden is largely driven by illegal immigrants.
This is mostly due to President Biden’s quickly reversing most of President Trump’s effective border control and immigration policies.
The data analyzed in a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) shows there are now 47 million foreign-born persons living in the U.S. as of April 2022, the most ever recorded in any U.S. government survey or census.
According to CIS, this percentage of foreign-born persons as a share of the total U.S. population is the highest in over a century.
The report focuses on Biden’s culpability when it notes that:
- The total foreign-born population (legal and illegal) increased by two million in the first 16 months of the Biden administration — January 2021 to April 2022 — twice as fast as the U.S.-born population grew.
- We preliminarily estimate that illegal immigrants accounted for two-thirds of the growth in the foreign-born population since January 2021 — 1.35 million.
But the worst is yet to come:
- If present trends continue, the foreign-born share of the population will reach 14.9 percent of the U.S. population in September 2023, higher than at any time in the nation’s 246-year history.
And it is all Biden’s doing. It’s more than double the growth under Obama and triple the numbers under Trump.
- On average the foreign-born population has grown by 132,000 a month since President Biden took office, compared to 59,000 per month in Obama’s first term, 76,000 per month in Obama’s second term, and 42,000 per month under Trump before Covid-19 hit.
As the Blaze notes:
The group blamed Biden’s campaign promises to undo former President Donald Trump’s restrictive border policies — including halting wall construction and reinstating catch-and-release policies — for creating a perception that he would relax immigration enforcement. Republicans have accused Biden of incentivizing illegal immigration by rolling back Trump’s policies.
“The administration’s decision to end the Migrant Protection Protocols (also called Remain in Mexico) for many asylum applicants, the scaling back of Title 42 expulsions, and more recently the decision to end it altogether, coupled with the release of some three-quarters of a million illegal immigrants encountered at the border as well as 146,000 unaccompanied minors, almost certainly has encouraged even more illegal immigrants to arrive at the southern border in the hope they, too, will be released into the country,” the CIS said.
“The administration’s suspension of nearly all interior deportations and the resulting dramatic decline in immigration enforcement, including deportations, plus its refusal to automatically take custody of non-citizens released from jails and prisons have all likely made illegal immigrants feel safer, reducing emigration of those already here and encouraging new illegal immigration,” the report stated.
Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) does need a disinformation agency – but one that counters its own disinformation.

Why is such an un-American party led by this POS…oh… POTUS still in office. Compare what they are doing to our economy and overall well-being to the overblown Jan. 6 largely peaceful demonstration in support of the Constitution and sacrifices that made this the greatest country on the planet and that still is their main focus…instead of gas prices, inflation, baby formula, illegal immigration, etc., and you should be asking why they are still here as well
They were VOTED into government. I hope to God that people are waking up. Looks like the voters in San Francisco are, so there is still hope.
“there are now 47 million foreign-born persons living in the U.S. “
So, how many of these are illegal aliens? This is EASY to determine. The government knows how many foreign-born people are here legally. This group is fully documented. Just subtract that number from the 47 million and you’ve got the answer. So why won’t they give us that information? I think the answer is obvious.
What is strange is that a good number of the people pouring into the U.S. WANT to be here, and those that are making is possible do NOT like this country. Thus, the people who think that we are so bad are more than happy to LEAVE. At any rate, we MUST get back to ENFORCING THE LAW.
I guess it’s not much of a surprise to hear these numbers. Anybody wishing to see such a dramatic change in the population in the United States is either demented or simply made of pure evil. One thing is for sure. Once the baby boomers and their children are gone, there won’t be anyone left for the government to fleece to pay all of those entitlements. Oh well…
It is just like Biden and the Dems to reverse anything that is good for the United States and its citizens. When you think that you have seen it all, you have not. Wait! More bad stuff is going to happen, and we better be able and ready to defend ourselves. God Bless us all!
Will Biden’s Handlers WAKE UP and tell him to stop DESTROYING AMERICA?
Get rid of Mayorkas who does not want to do his Job, Fix the Border, and Stop the INVASION of ILLEGAL INTRUDERS that are coming into and being dispersed throughout AMERICA without any vetting or examining for Diseases, Criminal ties or backgrounds, and Drug Smuggling and HUMAN TRAFFICKING!
You do realize that this is ALL INTENTIONAL! It is NOT by accident or people not knowing. When they talk about “fascism”, all they need to do is look into the mirror.
When have you ever thought or believed in the government’s numbers on any issue which they were speaking on? NEVE…. My guess is that you could multiply the gov’t numbers by at least 1.5 to possibly as much as times 3.0 or more….
When the Republicans take over the Presidency in addition to Congress, they should cancel asylum for everyone here and expel everyone that entered the country illegally, doing whatever is necessary to determine legal status.
When are we going to get rid of this old idiot Biden and his administration he needs to be thrown out immediately and now!
It’s quite obvious why they aren’t advertising how many are illegal. I’m sure that Joe is proud of himself, which is good, because nobody else is. His administration does nothing but slash and burn! Pardon my patriotism!
