Report: U.S. Immigrant Population Strikes Record 46.6 Million

The U.S. population of legal immigrants and illegal migrants hit 46.6 million in January, up roughly 1.6 million considering that President Joe Biden was inaugurated, according to federal data posted by the Center for Migration Studies.

“The 46.6 million immigrants (legal and unlawful) in the country in January 2022 is the biggest number taped in any government survey or decennial census going back to 1850,” the CIS says in a report launched on February 23.

“As a share of the overall population [of 332 million], immigrants were 14.2 percent– the greatest percentage in 112 years. If present trends continue, the immigrant share is most likely to surpass the all-time high reached in 1890 (14.8 percent) and 1910 (14.7 percent) in the next few years,” stated the report.

“It is certainly the case that our legal migration system … and the mindful decision to intentionally not implement migration laws [versus financial migrants], and to launch numerous thousands of individuals into the United States, is now being reflected in these [January 2022] numbers,” said the CIS’s research director, Steve Camarota.

“In simply the next few years, we’re going to pass the all-time high … America is headed into unknown uncharted territory,” he added.

The data shows that 70 percent– or 1.1 million– of the new migrants are Latino, Camarota stated.

Given that January 2021, “it’s possible that 1.5 million [southern migrants] came in,” alongside extra legal immigrants and visa employees, he told Breitbart News. But that southern inflow is partly offset by the exit of other migrants, he included. Perhaps “3 or 4 hundred thousand [migrants] went house. 100,000 got legal status, and 50,000 died,” he said.

However much of the population increase is caused by the administration’s push to broaden migration by means of legal loopholes that blur the much-touted distinctions between legal and unlawful migrants. For example, Biden’s deputies are confessing economic migrants through legally dubious doorways for asylum, parole, work authorization, and family unification.

The doorways are being tossed open by Biden’s pro-migration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, a Cuban refugee who was welcomed to California in the 1960s. Mayorkas and his pro-migration progressive deputies insist that Americans’ only homeland is in fact a “Nation of Immigrants” and a “Nation of Welcome” for financial migrants.

Migrants now comprise

14.2 percent of the population living in the United States, Camarota stated. That share is approximately double the 1955 share of 7 percent when the non-diverse United States was developing a middle-class society on a high-productivity economy, Throughout the low-migration duration from 1924 to 1970,

Americans’ innovations, efficiency, and typical wealth boomed. According to PBS, U.S. investors and companies conjured the tv in 1927, frozen food in 1929, nylon in 1938, the very first digital computer system in 1939, the atomic bomb in 1945, suburbia in 1947, the very first industrial computer in 1951, the polio vaccine in 1957, the idea for the Internet and the actual moon landing in 1969, the video game in 1972, and much more. However in 2022, the significantly diverse legal-and-illegal immigrant population of 46.6 million lives alongside 286 million Americans as it competes against Americans for jobs, real estate, cultural clout, and varied political concerns. The competition had a huge effect on Americans’wages, wealth, household formation, health, and society. For instance, amidst the substantial Biden inflow, house prices increased at a record 18.8 percent

speed in 2021, pressing numerous young Americans away from homeownership in suburbia. If that pattern continues, many millions of common Americans will not have the ability to develop an economic nest egg to own a home. Rather, the rising worth of houses– partly triggered by rising migration– will be scooped up by rich Wall Street investors. … and the stable future demand makes it attractive for Wall Street to purchase, too. Capital begets capital, and inequality boosts. I’ve heard realty experts describe this as neo-feudalism.– Andrew Good (@Drewbueno )February 20, 2022 Lawmakers, lobbyists
