The surge of migrants pouring into the United States under the Biden administration has reached staggering levels that deserve a straightforward reality check. The liberal media might spin this as a boon for diversity or some feel-good story—but let’s face it: this mass influx is more about mismanagement than morality. According to a recent analysis, since Biden took office in 2021, the net migration into the U.S. is poised to eclipse eight million. This is not just a substantial increase; it’s the largest wave of immigration the country has seen in over a century, even outpacing the historical influx during the Ellis Island years.
To put this into perspective, the Congressional Budget Office reported that during 2021 to 2023, net migration averaged an astonishing 2.4 million people annually. That’s more than the typical figures seen in years past—which some may argue was already too high. The scary reality is that 60% of those migrants are entering the U.S. illegally. That’s right: more than half of this new populace isn’t exactly filling out the paperwork and waiting in line like good citizens. If that doesn’t raise eyebrows, what will?
The immigration surge of the past few yrs has been the largest in US history, surpassing the immigration boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s.

The chaos has hit record highs, pushing the percentage of foreign-born residents in the U.S. to 15.2% in 2023—the highest it’s been since 1890. With records being shattered left and right, one might think the government would reevaluate its approach. But Biden promised a “Safe, Orderly, and Humane Immigration System” during his campaign, and the resulting pandemonium would leave anyone questioning what “safe” really means. Looser asylum rules were implemented to bring in individuals who, quite frankly, aren’t fleeing oppression but are instead exploiting the loopholes in a poorly designed system.
The irony is stark: these so-called compassionate policies were more focused on controlling the optics at the border rather than ensuring national security. With Kamala Harris carrying the weight of these misguided strategies, the administration and its supporters have failed to recognize that high levels of immigration come with significant downsides. Critics argue it pressures social services and creates fierce competition for jobs, particularly affecting those who didn’t attend college. The Congressional Budget Office has warned that wage growth for these Americans could see stagnation as a direct result of increased competition from migrants.
And for all the cheerleaders of immigration, let’s not forget the economic realities. While some sectors may benefit from lower costs, the average American worker is left in the lurch. Continuous waves of migrants are far from the enriching phenomenon many claim; instead, the numbers paint a picture of mismanaged policy leading to uncertain futures for American workers. The final question begs to be asked: how exactly are Americans supposed to thrive in a system designed for chaos, where even the basics of immigration law become mere suggestions on the bureaucratic menu? A truly safe and orderly system would look markedly different from the circus unfolding at the southern border under current leadership.
