Biden’s 2022 Illegal Migration Delivers 7 Migrants for Every 10 U.S. Births
President Joe Biden’s deputies welcomed 1.66 million economic migrants across the U.S. southern border in 2022, according to data revealed late Friday by the Department of Homeland Security.
Even though the migrants entered illegally, Biden’s deputies are using a variety of legal pretexts — under Title 8 of U.S. law — to release the migrants so they can work to pay off their smuggling debts to banks and loan sharks.
The huge inflow aids investors and employers by cutting Americans’ wages and by boosting housing prices.
The 1.66 million economic migrants welcomed in 2022 are just part of the massive 2022 inflow.
An additional 500,000 unreported migrants sneaked across the border, according to official counts leaked to Breitbart News and other outlets.
The 500,000 additional illegal migrants pushed the total cross-border inflow to roughly 2.5 million in Biden’s second fiscal year, which started on October 1, 2021, and ended on September 30.
Overall, Biden’s illegal border flood delivered seven migrants for every 10 Americans born in 2022.
In addition, Biden and his deputies delivered six migrants for every 10 Americans who turned 18 in 2022.
“We have witnessed the devastating harm wrought by a rogue administration that is asserting near-dictatorial powers in a relentless effort to keep our borders open,” said a statement from R.J. Hauman, the government relations director at the Federation for American Immigration Reform. He continued:
In that time, the Biden administration has blamed the unprecedented surge of illegal immigration on all sorts of external factors – except their own purposeful sabotage of our nation’s immigration laws. The endless flow of illegal immigrants and the incursion of lethal narcotics pouring across our border will not end until this administration demonstrates a willingness to secure the border and enforce the law. Sadly, these record-breaking numbers are unlikely to resonate with them, because what’s happening is all by design.
[Border] Secretary [Alejandro] Mayorkas clearly hid these border numbers on behalf of President Biden and the Democratic Party for political purposes, which is why he released them late on a Friday night. How can anyone vote for a party that puts politics first and America last?
The mass inflow of migrants has helped to push up rents for Americans, including Julia Mallman, a single, childless, 42-year-old kindergarten teacher in Fairfax, Virginia. Her monthly rent jumped by 25 percent as Joe Biden’s migrants rented spaces in her apartment complex, she told the Washington Post on October 20:
“So many emotions when I saw that,” Mallman said. “I was furious. And disappointed. And demoralized.”
She got a post-pandemic gut punch that is hitting renters across the nation this year. After landlords largely suspended rent hikes and federal assistance came during shutdowns, renters are now paying a steep price for that brief clemency. Nationwide, rents are up 11.3 percent this year, according to the real-estate-research firm CoStar Group. In some parts, like in Mallman’s working-class complex, the penalty … is weighing in at 25 percent.
“Who can afford this?” she asked, showing me the contract she decided to sign after all, on the day it was due. “The prices are pretty much the same everywhere I look.”
The Biden administration in 2022 has allowed into the country roughly six times as many people as in 2020 under President Donald Trump.
Biden’s official estimate of the 2022 inflow included 190,000 Venezuelans and 220,000 Cubans, versus 14,000 for both nations in 2020.

The DHS’s 1.66 million count excludes migrants who were registered at the border but were sent back to Mexico or flown home. The number of rejected migrants was not released, but it is far less than 1 million, since many migrants are counted multiple times as they repeatedly try to sneak across the border.
But Biden and his deputies also welcomed many other migrants, including disaster migrants, legal immigrants, visa workers, “student” workers, and people who illegally work while pretending to be tourists. For example, Biden’s deputies legalized almost 150,000 migrants fleeing disasters in Ukraine, Afghanistan, Cameroon, and other countries during fiscal 2022.
Those legal inflows add at least 1.1 million migrants.
If the legal inflow is added to the border illegals, then Biden’s deputies imported 3.6 million migrants in 2022 — or 1 foreigner for every American born in 2022.
The 2022 inflow is double the 885,000 illegals invited across the border in 2021.
Extraction Migration
It is easier for government officials to grow the economy by immigration than by growing exports, productivity, or the birth rate.
So Washington, D.C., deliberately extracts millions of migrants from poor countries and uses them as extra workers, consumers, and renters.
This extraction migration policy both grows and skews the national economy.
It prevents tight labor markets and so it shifts vast wealth from ordinary people to investors, billionaires, and Wall Street. It makes it difficult for ordinary Americans to advance in their careers, get married, raise families, buy homes, or gain wealth.
Extraction migration slows innovation and shrinks Americans’ productivity. This happens because migration allows employers to boost stock prices by using stoop labor and disposable workers instead of the skilled American professionals and productivity-boosting technology that earlier allowed Americans and their communities to earn more money.
This migration policy also reduces exports because it minimizes shareholder pressure on C-suite executives to take a career risk by trying to grow exports to poor countries.
Migration undermines employees’ workplace rights, and it widens the regional economic gaps between the Democrats’ cheap-labor coastal states and the Republicans’ heartland and southern states.
An economy fueled by extraction migration also drains Americans’ political clout over elites and it alienates young people. It radicalizes Americans’ democratic civic culture because it gives a moral excuse for wealthy elites and progressives to ignore despairing Americans at the bottom of society, such as drug addicts.
This diversify-and-rule investor strategy is enthusiastically pushed by progressives. They wish to transform the U.S. from a society governed by European-origin civic culture into an economic empire of jealous identity groups overseen by progressive hall monitors. “We’re trying to become the first multiracial, multi-ethnic superpower in the world,” Rep. Rohit Khanna (D-CA) told the New York Times in March 2022. “It will be an extraordinary achievement … We will ultimately triumph,” he boasted.
But the progressives’ colonialism-like economic strategy kills many migrants. It exploits the poverty of migrants and splits foreign families as it extracts human resources from poor home countries to serve wealthy U.S. investors.
Progressives hide this extraction migration economic policy behind a wide variety of noble-sounding explanations and theatrical border security programs. Progressives claim the U.S. is a “Nation of Immigrants,” that economic migrants are political victims, that migration helps migrants more than Americans, and that the state must renew itself by replacing populations.
Similarly, establishment Republicans, media businesses, and major GOP donors hide the skew towards investors by ignoring the pocketbook impact and by touting border chaos, welfare spending, migrant crime, and drug smuggling.
Many polls show the public wants to welcome some immigration. But the polls also show deep and broad public opposition to labor migration and the inflow of temporary contract workers into the jobs needed by the families of blue-collar and white-collar Americans.
This “Third Rail” opposition is growing, anti-establishment, multiracial, cross-sex, non-racist, class-based, bipartisan, rational, persistent, and recognizes the solidarity that American citizens owe to one another.
Exclusive: Rep. Randy Weber Leads House Resolution Panning Biden for ‘Recklessly Gutting’ Oil Reserves for Political Gain
Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) is leading a House resolution recognizing the threat that President Joe Biden’s “irresponsible” withdrawal from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) poses to the country, condemning him for “recklessly gutting” the reserves for “political gain,” and calling on the president to “halt the sale of petroleum products” from the SPR and begin its crucial replenishment.
The resolution, which is to be introduced on Friday by Weber, whose district houses roughly 60 percent of the nation’s emergency crude oil stockpile, was given to Breitbart News for review in advance.
It recognizes that “energy security is national security” and that the president’s “attack on domestic production of oil and gas” has made the country “energy dependent.”
It also “encourages higher levels of domestic oil and gas production” as Americans produce energy “more cleanly and more efficiently than any other country.”
In addition, it urges President Biden to “halt the sale of petroleum products” from the SPR and begin replenishing it.
The resolution accuses the Biden administration of having, from the start, “irresponsibly attacked the energy sector of the United States, halting the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, creating bureaucratic challenges to the permitting process, and promoting the exclusive use of wind and solar energy (sources that are not entirely reliable), making the United States dependent on foreign powers.”
It also deems the president’s release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve as a politically-motivated move “to artificially lower gas prices at the expense of the [country’s] national security.”
Over 20 House Republicans have joined Weber in cosponsoring the resolution, including Reps. Andy Biggs (AZ), Mayra Flores (TX), Chip Roy (TX), and Troy Nehls (TX).
In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Weber, who holds a key leadership role on the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology (SST) and serves as the Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Energy, called out the president’s recent announcement as a recipe to “recklessly” gut the country’s energy defense.
“We are 639 days into Joe Biden’s disastrous presidency, and it has been an all-out assault against American energy,” the Texas congressman said. “One of the most alarming offensives is Biden’s abuse of America’s invaluable Strategic Petroleum Reserve.”
“This resolution calls for President Biden to halt the sale of petroleum products from the SPR and to begin replenishing this critical emergency resource immediately,” he added. “This is no longer about reducing gas prices for political gain; now he’s recklessly gutting our energy defense.”
Several cosponsors of the bill slammed the president for his “reckless” plans in statements provided to Breitbart News.
“President Biden shouldn’t open the spigot of our strategic petroleum reserves, meant for national emergencies, to hide his failed energy policies or to serve his political purposes,” said Flores.
“Doing so, not only puts our national security at risk but also negatively impacts energy jobs across our state and country, and American energy production,” she added.
Rep. Pat Fallon (R-TX) described the SPR as “designed for weather emergencies or national security matters, not political expediency, or an upcoming midterm election.”
“Under President Trump, our SPR reached almost 700 million barrels of oil, now we are approaching levels not seen in nearly 40 years,” Fallon said. “With every draw down that Joe Biden makes; he puts our national security more at risk.”
“His actions and radical energy agenda are unacceptable and a disservice to the American people,” he added. “I am proud to join fellow Texan, Congressman Randy Weber in this effort.”
Rep. Drew Ferguson (R-GA) asserted that from the very beginning of his presidency, Biden has “worked to destroy America’s energy independence — causing prices at the pump to hit historic highs.”
“Now, Biden is recklessly dumping our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to try and control prices, after his negotiations with totalitarian leaders failed to get more oil on the market,” he said.
“Thankfully the push under Trump’s administration for American energy independence led to very low prices and allowed the U.S. to fill up the SPR, but Biden is quickly draining our emergency supply, putting America’s national security at serious risk,” he added.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) accused the president of “shamelessly compromising U.S. energy security in a cynical, politically-motivated attempt to salvage Democrats’ midterm hopes.”
“Gas prices are sky high because the Biden administration is dead-set on advancing a radical energy agenda driven by left wing climate hysterics, no matter the cost to Americans,” he said.
“I know the American people recognize Biden’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases for what they are: nothing more than an ineffective, dangerous political ploy,” he added.
Congressman Roger Williams (R-TX) insisted the president’s decision to “release millions of more barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is a politically motivated move that compromises our national security and is a shortsighted response to the ongoing energy crisis.”
“This Administration’s anti-energy agenda and refusal to invest in American oil and gas production have led us to this energy crisis and have crushed Texas families with skyrocketing energy costs,” he said.
“It is past time to reverse the damage of Biden’s Green New Deal agenda and unleash American energy dominance,” he added.
According to Congressman Tony Gonzales (R-TX), since President Biden took office, his “disastrous energy policies have weakened [the country’s] energy independence.”
“We should be unleashing American energy, not draining our oil reserves,” he said.
“This politically motivated decision is a reckless move that puts our national security at risk,” he added.
Rep. Brian Babin of Texas, who cochairs the Border Security Caucus, accused the president of having “spent his presidency waging war on our oil and gas sector and draining our Strategic Petroleum Reserve dry.”
“Americans are sick of his reckless and irresponsible actions,” he said. “They want affordable solutions that lead to energy security.”
Longtime U.S. House Rep. Michael Burgess (R-TX) argued that the Biden Administration is “well on the way to scraping the bottom of the barrel of America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve.”
“Depleting our SPR, which is reserved for emergency global supply disruptions, is irresponsible and yet another political ruse to bail President Biden out from his self-inflicted energy crisis before November,” he said. “The liquidation and drawdown of the SPR jeopardizes our national security.”
“It’s time for the President and his anti-American energy agenda to get out of the way so America can flip the switch and regain our energy independence,” he added.
Congresswoman Mary Miller (R-IL) maintained that “under President Trump, we had energy independence.”
“From his first day in office, Joe Biden has attacked our domestic energy production, begged other countries for oil, and has tapped into our strategic oil reserves to manipulate gas prices,” she said.
“Joe Biden and House Democrats continue to push political policies ahead of the midterm elections that put American jobs and American energy last,” she added.
On Wednesday, President Biden announced his plans to release another 15 million barrels of oil from the federal government’s strategic reserves to keep gas prices low before the midterm elections.
The president’s latest decision marks more than 200 million barrels set for release in less than two years as president, more than all previous presidents combined, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The oil reserves are currently at the lowest level since 1984.
Despite Biden’s historic oil releases to bring down the cost of gasoline, the OPEC+ nations announced their decision last month to cut oil production by two million barrels a day.
The president expressed his disappointment with OPEC+ and Saudi Arabia’s decision, despite administration officials working behind the scenes urging them to delay their cuts until after the midterm elections.
When asked if the current move to release the Strategic Petroleum reserve before the midterms was “politically motivated,” Biden replied, “Not at all.”
“It’s motivated to make sure that I continue to push what I’ve been pushing on,” he added.
Biden recently campaigned in California where gas prices are nearly seven dollars per gallon.
When asked about rising gas prices in the state, the president replied, “Well, that’s always been the case here.”
Despite the rise in prices, he continues to take credit for gas prices declining from record highs in the summer.
