"We're being invaded!" "Great Replacement Theory!" "It's an open border!" Yada, yada, yada.
Here's the reality. According to a report prepared by the Pew Research Center, the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. peaked at 12.2 million people in 2007, when George W. Bush was president. It stood at 10.4 million in 2021, a 14% decrease compared to 2007. During that same period, legal immigration increased by 29%.
These immigration figures, according to Pew, “do not reflect changes that have occurred since apprehensions and expulsions of migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border stared increasing in March 2021."
