The Biden administration once again moved to confirm so-called “great replacement” theories about Democrats wanting to push mass migration (particularly from illegal aliens) with the goal of converting them into citizens and boosting the Democratic Party’s base
During an interview with CNN’s Laura Coates, Harris discussed the crisis at the border, which she used as an opportunity to push for the exact sort of policies that would ensure its continuance in perpetuity. "There's no question that our immigration system is broken. And so much so, that as the first bill that we offered after our inauguration, was to fix the immigration system, which included what we must do to create a pathway for citizenship and to put the resources that are needed into the border. But sadly, people on the other side of the aisle have been playing politics with this issue," she said.
After Joe Biden immediately reversed effective Trump immigration policies upon taking office, VP Harris was given the position of “Border Czar,” a position of which it still remains a mystery what she actually did.
For two decades the conventional wisdom has been that there are 11 million illegal aliens in America, but it's a number which our government has never seen fit to update.
A Yale Study in 2018 found that the true number of illegals in the country was 22 million at the time, and Biden’s border crisis has only added to that. During the 2021 fiscal year over 1.7 million illegals were apprehended, in the 2022 fiscal CBP encountered nearly 2.4 million illegals, while in the 2023 fiscal year there were nearly 2.5 million encounters. In other words, the Biden admin has set three consecutive records for the number of encounters at the border.
If the government’s oft-cited “11 million illegals” figure were true upon Biden taking office, and there was one successful getaway for every encounter, that would mean the number of illegals in the country increased by a whopping 60% just under Biden (though of course, the “11 million” figures is a likely drastic underestimate).
