Unauthorized immigrant numbers have reached the highest recorded under Biden: Report

A new report from the PEW Research Center shows that the population of unauthorized immigrants in the United States increased 14 million people in 2023 in the middle of the Biden administration.

Released this week, the study shows that the population of unauthorized immigrants has reached a “summit of all time” of 14 million in 2023 after two consecutive years of record growth in 2021 and 2022.

According to BenchThe number of unauthorized immigrants present in the country increased from 10.2 million in 2020 to 10.5 million in 2021 to 11.8 million in 2022.

Pew said that the increase in 3.5 million unauthorized immigrants in two years is the largest ever recorded.

The next highest number of unauthorized immigrants recorded in a year took place in 2007, with 12.2 million.

In addition, Pew said that 2023 is the last year with full data available, the preliminary data indicated continuous growth in 2024 and a decrease in 2025, coinciding with the end of the mandate of former president Joe Biden and the start of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Pew applies that the drop in unauthorized immigrants could be up to 1 million, which it partly attributes to increased deportation and reduced protections under the Trump administration. However, the center said that the unauthorized immigrant population is probably more than 2023.

The study defines an unauthorized immigrant as an immigrant who is not a naturalized citizen, a legal permanent resident, a refugee, an assembly Assembly, a temporary legal resident or an unauthorized former immigrant granted a legal residence under the 1986 law on the reform and control of immigration.

Of the 14 million unauthorized total immigrants, Pew said that 6 million have a certain type of expulsion protection, while 8 million. Pew said that those who have a certain protection against deportation are foreigners who are asylum candidates, have a temporary conditional conditional release, are victims of crimes, have a temporary protection status or are delayed actions for receivers of the arrival of childhood (DACA) or border versions.

Simon Hankinson, principal researcher at the Border and Immigration Center in the Heritage Foundation, commented on the study, saying that “shows the scope of the illegal immigration disaster that President Biden, President Trump is now trying to clean”.

“The massive abuse of Biden of the conditional immigration liberation, the release of foreigners surprised by entering illegally at the border, and a chain of the application of the law has increased the number of people living here illegally to record proportions,” he added.

In addition, unauthorized immigrants, Hankinson said that the percentage of residents born abroad in the United States is currently the highest in the country’s history. He applied that “without assimilation and integration”, these immigration levels “are socially and fiscally unbearable”.

“In just six months, they believe that more than a million unauthorized immigrants from illegal foreigners have left the United States to the vast majority of them have done so by themselves,” he said, adding, “as we see-the simplest and simplest of domestic immigration to avoid detraction and depression is not to be entered or staying here.”
