Yale University researchers recently revealed that the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. is over 22 million, not the previously cited 11 million. The Democratic Party is advocating for the legalization of all undocumented immigrants, which could result in 22 million new voters. Historically, most first-time immigrant voters lean Democratic. The largest margin in U.S. presidential history was 17 million votes in the 1984 election. Adding 22 million new voters could create a permanent Democratic electoral majority. This immigration debate is less about improving the country and more about securing long-term political power for the Democrats.

If you're a criminal, you'll be deported, and if you enter the U.S. illegally, your chances of getting caught just went up. According to Speaker 1, these actions are lawful and have been taken by both Republican and Democratic presidents for the past half century. Speaker 0 claims the media portrays Trump negatively for deporting illegal alien criminals, while Obama, Bill Clinton, and other Democrats were on board with this for years. Speaker 2 states their administration has moved aggressively to secure the borders by hiring a record number of new border guards, deporting twice as many criminal aliens, cracking down on illegal hiring, and barring welfare benefits to illegal aliens. Speaker 3 says using phrases like "undocumented workers" conveys that the government is not serious about combating illegal immigration. Speaker 1 says we cannot allow people to pour into The United States undetected, undocumented, and unchecked. Speaker 2 says they will try to do more to speed the deportation of illegal aliens who are arrested for crimes and to better identify illegal aliens in the workplace. Speaker 0 claims Obama deported 5,300,000 people, and Bill Clinton deported 12,300,000, questioning why there is a sudden change of heart now.

Between ten and twelve million people may have entered the U.S. under Joe Biden's administration. It's difficult to know the exact number or whether all who entered illegally remained. The left has adopted a principle that the prior administration was allowed to systematically break the law by destroying the border and allowing 10 to 12 million people to enter and reside illegally. Courts did not object to this blatant destruction of the law by the chief executive.

Immigration trends under Bush, Obama, and Trump's first term appear consistent. However, with Biden, the situation seems different, suggesting a lack of control at the border. Democrats may claim they oppose open borders, but the current circumstances imply otherwise. There are millions in South and Central America, and it's clear we cannot accommodate everyone.

Speaker 0, Speaker 1, and Speaker 2 discuss immigration and U.S. foreign aid policy, focusing on roots, outcomes, and political implications. They begin with a provocative assertion: immigration is a major issue, with Speaker 0 claiming, “mostly with immigration… I wish people knew that we’re letting in criminals daily.” The speakers note migration as a central concern for the region, describing large U.S. aid to Central America—“4,000,000,000 over four years”—and acknowledging migrants now arriving from other places, including Venezuela. The dialogue questions the end goals of policy, asking, “What is the end goal? Why are they allowing children?” and “So what does he say to that?” along with a reference that “a lot of children” are involved. Speaker 2 mentions aid directed to female prisons in Mexico and to work on training, and to gender issues in Pakistan, noting initiatives to recruit, retain, and advance more women in law enforcement. A lingering question is asked: should U.S. taxpayers’ money be spent in their own country on these issues when they are described as fatal or concerning to others. The conversation shifts to specifics of administration and oversight: “Secretary Lincoln, how close are you to him? Five degrees separation.” The group references briefings on the FY2025 budget request and budget cycles, then reiterates the migration issue with a call to “stop migration.” They discuss a “root cause strategy” involving funding to address migrants at their origins, “Central America, basically,” aiming to support development there. A critical point is the assertion of substantial U.S. funding to the region and the concern that migrants are still coming from elsewhere, notably Venezuela, which “looks bad for the administration.” The dialogue notes the difficulty of finding a clear answer, with a sense that the other side might benefit politically. The speakers reflect on the scale of the funding relative to past decades and acknowledge uncertainty about what is effectively changing. There is talk of internal discussions with colleagues who manage migration processes and foreign assistance, with admissions of confusion or lack of clear messaging: “I don’t know what we do… there’s no clear answer.” They touch on messaging about immigration, including a belief that “we’re letting in criminals daily,” and contrast the status of “good, honest, hard work” Mexicans who stay in Mexico with others who come to the United States. Towards the end, Speaker 0 argues that traditional Americans—“Nebraska… Americans that have my family’s been in United States for four hundred years”—are not leftists, while stating that Latin Americans are leftist, framing it as a broader political and societal divide connected to immigration policies. They propose a hypothetical: allowing 100,000 Mexicans a year if they are not in the country illegally and have no criminal record, suggesting a quality filter on entrants.

Illegal immigration hit record lows under border patrol services. However, after a change in leadership, around 20 million people entered the country. The data shown is a few months old, but the impact is clear.

Ninety percent of people coming into the country are trying to do the right thing. Currently, some people who shouldn't be are being removed from the country, including those with visas. The goal is to keep out people who are doing bad things. Immigrants are reportedly much less likely to commit crimes than American-born citizens.

He says many countries opened up their prisons and dumped them into the United States, and those are the people the United States is getting out. He emphasizes that “we have a lot of heart,” and they are focusing on criminals rather than all illegal entrants, noting that some illegal entrants are good people who are now working on farms, in luncheonettes, hotels, and other jobs. The priority, he says, is to get the criminals out right now—the murderers, the drug dealers, and the mentally insane. He notes that there are a lot of mentally insane killers, “you can’t even talk to them,” and that they are seriously ill people. He asserts that a couple of countries loaded up their mental institutions and insane asylums; those facilities were emptied, but now they’re filling up again because “we’re bringing them all back.” He claims that they know where these people came from and that every country accepts them. He contrasts this with Biden, saying that under Biden they wouldn’t admit they had brought them there and wouldn’t take them; they would “get the hell out of here.” He adds that they would be bringing a plane in to land in a country.

Yale University study suggests that the number of illegal aliens in the US is over 22 million, not 11 million. The Democratic party supports legalizing all illegal immigrants, potentially adding 22 million new voters. Historically, most first-time immigrant voters have voted Democrat. This could create a permanent electoral majority for Democrats. The focus of the immigration debate is not about improving the country or meeting labor needs, but about securing power for Democrats.

The Biden administration does not aim to let migrants cross the border to alter America's political landscape. In fact, since May of last year, more individuals have been removed or sent back than in any year since 2015, all within less than 12 months.

After I left office, illegal immigration hit an all-time low, confirmed by government services and border patrol data. The current administration saw a significant increase, with around 20 million people entering illegally. The data is a few months old, but the impact is clear.

Mass immigration to the United States does not significantly reduce global poverty. Since 1990, the U.S. has accepted about 1 million legal immigrants annually, but this is negligible compared to the 3 billion people worldwide living on less than $2 a day. Most immigrants come from relatively better-off populations, not the poorest. Even doubling immigration to 2 million would not make a noticeable difference and could harm vulnerable groups in the U.S. The real change agents are those who stay in their home countries to improve conditions. With millions more being born into poverty each year, immigration cannot effectively address global suffering. The focus should be on helping people where they live, as 99.9% will never be able to immigrate to wealthier nations.

After I left office, illegal immigration hit an all-time low, according to government data. However, when the current president took over, the number of illegal immigrants surged, with around 20 million entering the country. This chart, though a few months old, clearly shows the drastic increase in illegal immigration.

President Trump's deportation of migrants has sparked controversy, with some arguing it's inhumane while others, particularly Trump supporters, express concerns about immigrant crime. Despite perceptions, data from Texas suggests illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. While illegal immigrants don't qualify for most welfare benefits, their children attend public schools and hospitals often treat them, leading to resentment among some who feel their tax dollars are being misspent. Some propose restricting "goodies" rather than immigration itself, arguing immigrants benefit America. Immigrants contribute to the economy by filling essential jobs and paying taxes, often more than they receive in benefits. They also create jobs, with immigrants founding half of successful Silicon Valley startups. Legal immigration is complex, pushing some to enter illegally. A proposal suggests allowing entry to those with job offers, no criminal record, and no infectious diseases. Concerns about cultural changes and assimilation exist, but history shows immigrants eventually assimilate. Some worry about immigrants bringing in unwanted ideas, but others argue that promoting American values will encourage assimilation.

President Trump's deportation of migrants has sparked controversy, with some citing inhumane treatment while others express anger over immigrant crime. Despite perceptions, data from Texas indicates illegal immigrants commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans. Concerns about welfare burdens are also raised, though illegal immigrants are ineligible for most benefits. Economically, immigrants contribute through labor and taxes, often paying more than they receive. While some Americans may lose jobs, studies suggest immigrants create more jobs overall, founding successful startups and driving innovation. Legal immigration is seen as overly complex, pushing some to enter illegally. Concerns about cultural assimilation and the introduction of unwelcome ideas exist, but historical trends show immigrants typically assimilate within a few generations. Some argue that requiring immigrants to work, learn English, and assimilate would attract the best candidates. It's suggested that promoting American values like individual rights and capitalism would facilitate assimilation.

More than 25% of the annual federal deficit is spent taking care of illegal immigrants. In 2023, the total outlay was $6.1 trillion, the total revenue was $4.4 trillion, and the federal deficit was $1.7 trillion. In 2023, $451 billion was spent taking care of illegal immigrants, which is 26.5% of the $1.7 trillion deficit. If the border was secure and there was control over who enters the country, 26.5% could be cut from the deficit. This is especially important because the money is borrowed, meaning interest will be paid on it. In 2023, $451 billion was borrowed to support illegals, and interest will be paid on that amount.

Mass immigration into the U.S. does not reduce world poverty. The U.S. takes in 1,000,000 legal immigrants every year, while there are 3,000,000,000 people in the world making less than $2 a day. Immigrants are not typically pulled from the poorest populations because they are too poor, sick, and disconnected. Immigrants tend to come from countries with average incomes lower than Mexico, which accounts for 5,600,000,000 people. Taking in 1,000,000 immigrants does not tackle world poverty and impacts the unemployed, working poor, vulnerable members of society, and natural resources. Even doubling immigration to 2,000,000 a year would not make a noticeable difference. The million immigrants taken are among the most energetic, better educated, and dissatisfied people who could be agents of change in their countries. Impoverished countries add 80,000,000 more people to their populations each year. Immigration can never be an effective way to deal with the suffering people of the world because they have to be helped where they live.

President Trump has stated that high grocery prices contributed to his election. The Department of Agriculture reports that 42% of crop workers were undocumented immigrants from 2020 to 2022, often filling jobs that many Americans avoid. However, only 1% of undocumented workers are in agriculture, with most residing in cities. The migrants brought in recently are not working on farms but are in urban areas. Trump supports a guest worker program and emphasizes transitioning to automation in agriculture. He insists on enforcing immigration laws to prevent illegal immigration and protect citizens, asserting that the government will combat transnational threats effectively.

There are about 1.2 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. with final removal orders from immigration judges. The September 30th memo stated that being a removable noncitizen shouldn't solely justify enforcement actions. Does this reasoning apply to those 1.2 million individuals? Yes, it does, but not all may have received due process. Should any of these individuals be removed? While it's not feasible to remove all 1.2 million, those who pose threats to public safety, national security, or border security should be removed.

Many Americans are concerned about the impact of deporting illegal immigrants on food prices and safety. However, only 1% of undocumented workers are in agriculture, with most residing in major cities. The influx of illegal immigrants from countries like Venezuela and Haiti is not contributing to farm work but rather relying on welfare in urban areas. President Trump supports a guest worker program for farmers and emphasizes the need for automation in agriculture. The administration will enforce immigration laws strictly, ensuring that illegal immigrants who pose a threat to public safety are removed. The focus will be on addressing transnational threats effectively.

Border arrests have soared, with 1.7 million migrants arrested along the US-Mexico border in the last fiscal year. Several reports link illegal immigrants to violent crimes, including murders in Georgia and Houston. In 1950, the average family income was $3,300 and a house cost $7,300, while in 2023, median personal income was $42,000 and the average house price was $495,000. Homelessness was negligible in 1950 but reached 653,000 in 2023. Worker productivity has increased by 254% since 1950, yet financial stability is harder to achieve. Immigrants hold approximately one in six jobs. Immigrant income is estimated to be 17% lower than native-born Americans, driving wages down. A 2018 study found 63% of noncitizen households benefit from welfare programs. While non-citizens use welfare at twice the rate per capita, US citizens pay 85% of the taxes. In 2021, educating illegal alien children cost around $4 billion. Immigrants use public transportation more frequently (25%) than native-born citizens (9%). Immigrants comprise significant portions of the workforce in retail, agriculture, construction, and professional sectors, including tech. The American dream has been sold off and given to whoever can do your job for less.

The commonly cited figure of 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. is misleading and likely inaccurate. This number, repeated for over 15 years, originated from the Pew Research Center and has not changed despite significant demographic shifts. The Census Bureau's method of estimating illegal immigrants relies on voluntary responses, which many undocumented individuals do not provide. Recent research from Yale and MIT suggests the actual number could range from 16 million to 29 million, with a mean of about 22 million. This discrepancy raises concerns about the implications of potential amnesty for millions more than previously thought, potentially diluting political power and affecting democracy. Previous studies, including one by Bear Stearns, also indicated that the true number of undocumented immigrants could be significantly higher than official estimates.

American Immigration has seen 35,100 arrests by ICE since President Trump returned to office. All individuals arrested are considered criminals for illegally entering the country, reflecting a significant cultural shift in how immigration law violations are viewed. This administration categorizes anyone who breaks immigration laws as a criminal, differing from previous perspectives.

After I left office, illegal immigration hit an all-time low, according to government data. However, when the current president took over, the numbers skyrocketed to around 20 million people. This chart, though a few months old, clearly shows the drastic increase in illegal immigration.

Yale study suggests over 22 million illegal aliens in the US. Democrats push for their legalization, potentially adding 22 million new voters who tend to vote Democrat. This could secure a permanent electoral majority for Democrats. Immigration debate is about power, not improving the country or meeting labor needs.
