Analysis: Joe Biden ‘Set to Surge’ Illegal Alien Population Across U.S.
President Joe Biden is “set to surge” the number of illegal aliens living across the United States, new analysis provided to Breitbart News details.
The analysis, conducted by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), projects that the nation’s illegal alien population will increase dramatically as a result of Biden’s mass migration agenda where border crossers are routinely being released into the U.S. interior, most illegal aliens are evading deportation, and there are no plans for a crackdown on visa overstays.
The illegal alien population “could exceed 20 million” if Biden “implements all of his preferred policies” by the end of 2024, the analysis estimates.
“… the illegal alien population is set to surge under the Biden administration,” FAIR’s analysis states.
As evidence, FAIR notes that even as former President Donald Trump implemented strict border controls, boosted deportations of illegal aliens, and closed a number of visa loopholes, the illegal alien population “grew considerably” from their estimate of 12.5 million at the start of 2017 to 14.5 million by the end of 2020.
“This can be attributed to a number of reasons, including a strong economy throughout most of [Trump’s] presidency,” the analysis states:
However, it can also be attributed to a failure to enforce some existing laws or implement important policies that would deter migrants from coming to the United States illegally, such as mandatory E-Verify or the prosecution of businesses that hire those who are not authorized to work in the United States.

Biden’s recent plans to slip an amnesty into a federal budget, drafted by Senate Democrats, would allow millions of illegal aliens would have “negative impacts on taxpayers,” the analysis states — one being that they would “immediately become eligible for federal welfare programs.”
“Previous reports by FAIR have revealed that illegal aliens earn far less on average than American citizens or lawfully present immigrants,” the analysis continues.
The flood of illegal immigration since Biden took office, the analysis states, is a direct result of Biden’s “promises of amnesty” in addition to his gutting of interior immigration enforcement and ending of most Trump-era border controls.
Analysis by Steven Kopits of Princeton Policy Advisors estimates that the Biden administration will drive nearly 1.7 million illegal aliens to the U.S.-Mexico border by the end of 2021 — making it the worst year for illegal immigration in American history.
For perspective, should nearly 1.7 million illegal aliens arrive at the border this year, this would be a foreign population three times the population of Wyoming.

Heritage Action Launches ‘Save Our Paycheck’ Tour to Highlight How Biden’s Policies Hurt Americans
Republicans Sen. Rick Scott (FL) and Gov. Brian Kemp (GA) will be featured speakers as part of Heritage Action’s national tour in August and September to highlight how President Joe Biden’s economic policies are hurting Americans.
“President Joe Biden and Washington Democrats are leading our nation down an unsustainable path with their failed economic policies and reckless spending,” Scott said in the announcement on Tuesday of the tour. “Americans deserve better. The Democrats’ spending addiction has created an inflation crisis and their solution is to spend more and tax more.”
“And instead of focusing on getting Americans back to work and helping small businesses re-open, Democrats are insistent on paying workers more to stay home and rely on government assistance,” Scott said. “These policies don’t work, and we are seeing it every day.”
The “Save Our Paycheck National Tour” is in response to the “Biden-Harris Administration’s war on Americans’ pocketbooks,” according to Heritage.
Heritage, working with the Coalition to Protect American Workers, will “host state and national officials at local businesses across the country in a series of events aimed at exposing how disastrous President Biden’s policies have been for the American worker.”
“The tour will also highlight the personal testimony of business owners, American workers, and grassroots leaders most impacted by President Biden’s failed economic agenda,” the press release announcing the tour said.
“Thanks to Bidenflation and the Administration’s continued attacks on our pocketbooks, Americans are losing purchasing power every month — blue state lockdowns and Congress’ disastrous spending plans have led to higher taxes and higher unemployment,” Heritage Action Executive Director Jessica Anderson said of the tour. “The Save Our Paychecks tour will shed light on the American workers and businesses who have been left behind by the Biden Administration.”
Erica Kious, the former owner of the now-shuttered San Francisco Salon where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) got her hair done despite coronavirus pandemic lockdowns, will kick off the event on August 10 in Fresno, California.
“After owning a very successful salon in San Francisco for over ten years, my dreams and hard work came to an abrupt end,” Kious said. “I was ultimately forced to shut down by extreme leftist politics due to the exposure of Nancy Pelosi’s hypocritical actions in my salon relative to the mask policies surrounding the coronavirus pandemic.”
“Americans need to know that the left is dedicated to destroying small business owners like me and hurting American workers—it’s time to save our paychecks.”
The Florida Politics website reported on the tour:
Scott has repeatedly hammered the Biden administration for big spending, noting the national debt as a major concern.
“President Biden’s silence on inflation is deafening, and his lack of leadership in the face of this serious threat is hurting people every day. Every increase in food, gas and household good prices, even increases of just a few cents, negatively impact families, especially low-income families and those on fixed incomes. For our nation’s poorest families, like mine growing up, rising prices are devastating — I know because I watched my parents struggle with inflation and putting food on the table when I was a kid,” Scott said, referencing his personal narrative in comments in May.
Scott, a former two-term Governor of Florida before getting elected to the Senate in 2018, expects people to come around to his way of thinking on these issues and for that mandate to become clear for Republicans in the midterms next year.
“It’s going to be a hell of a 2022,” Scott said during a call with reporters in June.

Poll: American Women Are Not Fans of Kamala Harris

The Biden-Harris administration has been in office for six months, and the American people are not fans of Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a Morning Consult-POLITICO poll released on Wednesday.
Tucked at the end of the results are favorability ratings for various political figures, including the vice president.
The poll was conducted July 16-18, with a sample size of 1,997 registered voters and a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
Just 45 percent of respondents have a favorable view of Harris, compared to 47 percent who have an unfavorable view.
More men, at 48 percent, have a favorable view of Harris, compared to the 47 percent who have an unfavorable view. Women, however, are not fans of the vice president, with 43 percent having a favorable view, compared to the 47 percent who have an unfavorable view.
So few Republican women, at 3 percent, have a favorable view of Harris, that it's possible that with the margin of error that the Vice President has virtually no support from the demographic.
Republican women have a more favorable rating of President Joe Biden, at 9 percent.
Those demographics which have equally or even more significant non-support for Harris include the 2 percent favorable ratings from those who strongly disapprove of the job Biden is doing and the 1 percent who have a very unfavorable view of Biden.
The vice president has most of her support from Democrats and Liberals, at 85 percent each, as well as from 86 percent of Democratic women. Slightly more of respondents who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, at 85 percent, have a favorable view of her than the 82 percent of respondents who voted for Joe Biden in 2020.
In reporting on the poll for The Hill, Alex Gangitano noted that her favorable versus unfavorable ratings broke even at 46 percent for last month's Morning Consult-POLITICO poll.
The Biden-Harris administration has been plagued by issues from the vice president, who has been tasked with projects such as stemming migration from the southern border, increasing the vaccination rates, and getting voting rights legislation passed. As Landon reported, though, Harris herself has admitted she doesn't say 'no' enough.
Harris is prone to gaffes, not only with her inappropriate laughter, but her response to Lester Holt that she hadn't been to Europe, either, when in early June he pointed out she hadn't traveled to the southern border, and her expressing concern that "rural Americans" would have issues with voter ID because "there's no Kinkos, there's no OfficeMax near them."
Multiple anonymous sources also claim that working for Vice President Harris takes place in "an abusive environment."
Her top travel aides also announced their departure amidst Harris' trip to El Paso and leading up to her visit with her husband to encourage Americans to get vaccinated.
Matt has covered other general concerns the administration has, which include how polling shows Harris could not beat out a Republican opponent in a 2024 hypothetical race.
Trump: Republicans Must Take Seriously Democrats Trying to Remake America with Amnesty, Mail-In Voting
Former President Donald Trump says, “Republicans must take seriously” Democrat lawmakers’ plans to slip an amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and nationwide mail-in voting measures into a budget via reconciliation, a process that prevents the use of the filibuster and needs only 51 votes in the Senate.
Trump released a statement on Wednesday, warning House and Senate Republicans of a Democrat plan to “completely change America” through the reconciliation process.
“Republicans must take seriously the effort by Democrats to completely change America through the reconciliation process,” Trump said:
Democrats are now suggesting that budget reconciliation can be used to pass mail-in ballot legislation as well as trying to include amnesty in their infrastructure package. The infrastructure package has little to do with infrastructure as we know it, bridges, roads, tunnels, etc., but is a dramatic expansion of government that will cost much more than the $3.5 trillion being discussed. Don’t let this happen! [Emphasis added]
Trump said an amnesty for illegal aliens via reconciliation will spur “a run on our southern border the likes of which we have never seen before,” calling it “a signal that says ‘Come to America now because you will be a citizen.'”
“Providing amnesty to illegal aliens, in the history of what already is considered the greatest border catastrophe, will result in disaster beyond our gravest nightmares,” Trump continued. “No country can pay this price. Will lead to ruination!”
Likewise, nationwide mail-in voting measures included in a budget via reconciliation, Trump said, “will be a disaster for our country and for conservatism.”
“There will never be a Republican elected to high office again,” Trump said:
I urge every Republican to fight this and deny Democrats a quorum if that is what it takes to make sure that the Democrats can’t use reconciliation. Republicans must push back for the sake of our country and, far less importantly, the sake of the Republican Party! [Emphasis added]
Likely voters are overwhelmingly opposed to using reconciliation to jam an amnesty for illegal aliens through Congress and support, across the board, voter ID laws to prevent election fraud.
A Monmouth University poll, released last month, revealed that 77 percent of white voters and 84 percent of non-white voters support voter ID laws. A survey by the Election Integrity Polling Project most recently found that 8-in-10 voters believe voter ID laws are necessary to protect elections and 87 percent said they are opposed to ballot harvesting.
With amnesty, recent polling found that swing state voters are much less likely to support their Senator in the future if they back amnesty via reconciliation. Majorities from 52 to 57 percent in Arizona, Georgia, New Hampshire, Nevada, and West Virginia said amnesty will encourage more illegal immigration to the U.S.
