Illegal immigrant population increased by ONE MILLION in Biden's first year in office and cost the taxpayer an extra $9.4billion, conservative group research reveals
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]
  • A study by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), which advocates for cracking down on immigration overall, found that the undocumented immigrant population in the U.S. grew from 14.5 million in 2020 to 15.5 million now

  • The conservative group estimates cost the American taxpayer an additional $9.4 billion, up to $143.1 billion per year

  • FAIR attributed the rise in border apprehensions to both economic upturn at the end of the Covid-19 pandemic and new immigration policies under Biden

  • Tracking the number of unlawful migrants residing in the U.S. is a difficult task, and FAIR admits that any figure is going to be 'inexact'

  • The new estimate comes as migration at the southern border is surging again and in March 221,000 migrants were apprehended, nearly a 20-year high
