Today, 14.2% of the residents of the United States are foreign-born, a record number for the past 111 years. Statistics on the number of immigrants have been kept since 1960, but such high figures have never been recorded.
The Center for Immigration Studies' monthly Current Population Survey (CPS) concluded that there were 46.2 million legal and illegal immigrants in the country in November 2021.
The record figures are due to the fact that in 2021 there was a surge in immigration in the USA - illegal immigrants literally attacked the southern border with Mexico after the inauguration of Joe Biden.
The Democratic president eased requirements for immigrants, making it possible to move to the country.
After taking office, Biden reversed Donald Trump's ban on work visas and generally eased immigration rules, which led to today's record numbers.
Former President Donald Trump believes that Biden is turning the country into a "camp for migrants."
"Our country is being turned into a camp for migrants.
Look at what happened under President Joe Biden: our country is sinking into hell," Trump said with conviction.
The former American leader is sure that someone is corrupting and destroying the United States.
If he had been president, "this would never have happened," Trump is sure.
The majority of the main number of immigrants in the United States are illegal.
Customs and Border Protection reports that in 2021, more than 1.75 million illegal immigrants were apprehended at the southern border trying to enter the United States to seek asylum.
In November alone, the authorities faced 173,620 illegal crossings, 753 more than in October.
Illegal immigration peaked at 213,593 in July 2021, followed by a slight decline for several months.
In 2020, the number of illegal immigrants was 458,088, and in 2019 it was 977,509. The Center for Immigration Studies predicts that by 2060, the percentage of immigrants in the United States may increase to 17%.
This will happen if the growth rate of immigration remains at the previous level.
