In fiscal year 2022, which we covered in two posts, some 6.2-6.5 million illegal immigrants were admitted entry to the United States. This is a population comparable to the populations of Wisconsin or Missouri, and itself a staggering number which is rapidly being surpassed.
We also know that, when counting the roughly 400,000 deportations (1) (2), the Biden administration did indeed allow millions upon millions of racially foreign persons to settle permanently in the United States.
We have continued to follow our tradition of posting “In Numbers” as the fiscal year rolls on. As when we reached the midpoint of 2023, and we penned a piece entitled “In Numbers – Thusfar” to cover the current inflow for 2023 and to make projections for the rest of the year. That fiscal year is now over and the numbers are in.
Border Patrol, CBP and other assorted agencies have encountered a staggering 3.1 million people at the southern border of the United States through fiscal year 2023. This number alone represents a population roughly the size of that of the State of Nevada, and a population greater than those of 18 states.
Many of those crossing are not just from South America, but from all over the globe. People from Pakistan, Egypt, Bangladesh and China fly to Mexico on tourist visas and then walk across the southern border, or pay smugglers to assist them in the crossing.
According to the Department of Homeland Security roughly 62.6% of those who are crossing the US border are single adults, and overwhelmingly men. The poor families of the third world are not coming to the United States, the poor fighting age men of the third world are coming to the United States.
Intact family units constitute 30% of those crossing the United State’s Southern land border, and roughly 6% are unaccompanied minors. Though these claims of being a minor often proven to be false.
