NYT: The Biden "Immigration Boom" Is the Biggest In This Country's Almost 250-Year History; 60% of Recent "Newcomers" Entered Illegally

Thanks Democrats!

It's not just the story here that's relevant -- it's who's reporting it.

The NYT is basically providing what Obama used to call a "permission structure" for Democrats to abandon their quasi-religious open borders fanaticism and moderate on the issue.

And they're only doing that because the issue is destroying the Democrat Cult. This is an intervention, telling the cultists to back off before the entire cult collapses.

The immigration surge of the past few years has been the largest in U.S. history, surpassing the great immigration boom of the late 1800s and early 1900s, according to a New York Times analysis of government data.

Annual net migration -- the number of people coming to the country minus the number leaving -- averaged 2.4 million people from 2021 to 2023, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Total net migration during the Biden administration is likely to exceed eight million people.

That's a faster pace of arrivals than during any other period on record, including the peak years of Ellis Island traffic, when millions of Europeans came to the United States. Even after taking into account today's larger U.S. population, the recent surge is the most rapid since at least 1850:

The numbers in the Times analysis include both legal and illegal immigration. About 60 percent of immigrants who have entered the country since 2021 have done so without legal authorization, according to a Goldman Sachs report based on government data.

The combined increases of legal and illegal immigration have caused the share of the U.S. population born in another country to reach a new high, 15.2 percent in 2023, up from 13.6 percent in 2020. The previous high was 14.8 percent, in 1890.

Doing the jobs Americans just won't do.

The Biden-Harris administration's Department of Homeland Security freed an illegal alien who was wanted of child rape in his home country into the United States.

The illegal alien, a 25-year-old Ecuadorean national named Adrian Patricio Huerta-Nivelo, crossed the border into the United States on June 4th, 2021 before being apprehended by Border Patrol.

Huerta-Nivelo was given a notice to appear in front of an immigration judge before being released into the interior of the United States. Just days after his release, however, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) discovered that the illegal alien was wanted in Ecuador in connection to the rape of a child.

He was only later deported.

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan says get ready for a "huge operation" to deport criminals.

Incoming Border Czar Tom Homan revealed that ridding the United States of violent criminal organizations like Tren de Aragua and MS-13 is going to be a "major priority" of the incoming Trump administration.

"So this is going to be a huge operation," Homan said in a Fox News interview. "I'm looking forward to getting it started. I haven't started the operation yet, but I have already worked with the Texas governor on the plans and the Texas border czar."

Homan also argued that sanctuary cities should allow immigration officials to enter jails and conduct removals of violent criminals already in captivity, rather than waiting until the criminal is released back onto the streets.

"So let us in the jail," he said. "It's safer for everybody and it's the right thing to do."

In addition to meeting with Texas officials, Homan said that he has discussed plans with New York Mayor Eric Adams as well as hundreds of sheriffs across the country.

"The National Sheriffs Association is ready to go to work with us. So, January 20, game on," he concluded.

Homan says that if the black Buster Pointdexter mayor of Chicago tries to block deportations, he'll arrest and prosecute him.
