A Fox News analysis reveals that nearly 7.3 million migrants have illegally crossed the southwest border during President Biden’s tenure, surpassing the populations of 36 individual states.
This surge in illegal immigration has sparked criticism from Republicans and anti-illegal immigration activists, who blame Biden for reversing Trump’s border policies.
“This unprecedented surge in illegal immigration isn’t an accident. It is the result of deliberate policy choices by the Biden administration,” Director of Research for Numbers USA Eric Ruark said.
Critics claim that Biden’s lenient policies create a “pull” factor for migrants seeking job opportunities and government benefits.
“The administration has refused to enforce existing immigration law and taken every opportunity to aid and abet illegal border crossings — through policies such as catch-and-release, mass parole, and offering temporary work permits to tens of thousands of foreigners who make dubious claims for asylum,” Ruark said.
“In actual effect, the United States government is completing the human smuggling and trafficking process for the Mexican cartels,” he said.
Despite calls for new legislation to address the border crisis, conservatives argue that existing laws are sufficient, leading to political tensions and even impeachment efforts against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
“They have sent the signal that if you come to the U.S. illegally, if you abuse the asylum system, you’ll be released into the country and allowed to remain here, in most cases given work authorization,” Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) spokesman Ira Mehlman said.
“Even if you neglect to show up for your hearings, the odds of you being removed are negligible. The president claims he doesn’t have the authority to enforce our laws. He absolutely does. He is deliberately not enforcing those laws.”
Biden has defended his administration’s actions, emphasizing the enforcement of existing laws and denouncing partisan attacks.
