What’s interesting to me is that the illegal undocumented immigrant population of America has been stable (supposedly) over the last five years, estimated to be in the 11.4 million range. And yet…there have been 7.2 million apprehensions of illegal undocumented immigrants during Biden’s term (Snopes admits that it is 6x what it was during Trump’s term), along with another 2.8 million who have never been apprehended. About 40% overall have been repatriated to their home countries.
My math is 7.2 + 2.8 – 4.0 = Net increase of six million undocumented immigrants. So why is the undocumented immigrant population still considered to be stable at 11.5 million or so? What happened to the net increase of six million undocumented immigrants?
