It has become known about record high immigration to the USA under Biden.
Immigration to the USA has reached a record level
In the USA, from 2021 to 2023, an average of 2.4 million people arrived each year, which sets a record for this period. This is reported by The New York Times, citing the Congressional Budget Office.
During Joe Biden's Time in power, more than 8 million people have come to the country. Such a high rate of immigration has been made possible by the president's soft immigration policy.
It is noted that about 60% of those who arrived in the USA since 2021 did so without legal permission.
In 2023, immigrants made up 15.2% of the population of the USA, that is, people born abroad. The record was set in 1890 when 14.8% of the population was born abroad.
Reasons for the increase in immigration
The main reason for the increase in immigration is Biden's soft immigration policy, as well as crises in Venezuela, Ukraine, and Haiti, which have forced citizens of these countries to emigrate to the USA more actively. The development of smuggling networks has also helped immigrants reach the American border. According to data for 2023, there are about 335 million people living in the USA.
Readiness for mass deportation
Migrants who are in the USA are preparing for mass deportation, which was mentioned with the arrival of Donald Trump. They are consulting immigration lawyers and participating in meetings of non-profit organizations where migration and deportation issues are discussed. People are securing themselves against the promised mass deportation program of Trump.
Changes in the country's policy
The newly elected president of the USA, Trump, plans to enact over 25 decrees and orders that will significantly change the country's policy. These changes will concern various areas, including immigration and energy. On his first day in office in 2017, Donald Trump issued only a few decrees, while Joe Biden signed 17 orders in 2021, many of which canceled the predecessor's policy.
