In the latest report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), it was revealed that the number of foreign-born residents in the United States has reached a record high under the Biden administration, thanks to a surge in illegal migration. Since March 2022, the foreign-born population has increased by 5.1 million, totaling 51.6 million individuals in March 2024, comprising 15.6% of the U.S. population.

What’s concerning is that less than half of these migrants are employed, with only 46% of foreign-born individuals who arrived in 2022 or later having jobs in early 2024. This raises questions about the impact of unchecked migration on the U.S. economy and job market. It’s troubling to see so many newcomers not contributing back to the country that is hosting them.
Moreover, the report highlights that a significant portion of these new arrivals are not actively seeking work, with only about 8% of the 2.5 million non-working immigrants stating that they are looking for employment. This raises concerns about the implications of such a large number of individuals relying on taxpayer-funded support without making a meaningful contribution to society.
The CIS report also mentioned the potential risks associated with illegal immigration, citing alarming statistics of crimes committed by illegal aliens in Texas alone. This underscores the importance of ensuring border security and enforcing immigration laws to protect American citizens from criminal activities carried out by individuals who have entered the country unlawfully.
It is evident that the Biden administration’s approach to immigration has created a situation where foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, are taking up job opportunities at the expense of American workers. The prioritization of non-citizens over citizens in the job market is a concerning trend that needs to be addressed to safeguard the interests of the American workforce.
The surge in the foreign-born population, coupled with low employment rates among migrants, raises serious questions about the long-term implications of unchecked migration policies. It is imperative for the government to prioritize the interests of American citizens and ensure that immigration policies align with the best interests of the country and its people.
