Foreign-born workers now account for roughly 19 percent of the U.S. labor force, an increase from 17.3 percent when Joe Biden took office, according to figures from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis. The number of foreign-born workers reached an all-time high last year.
That number will grow even larger due to the Biden regime’s lax border policies. A recent analysis by the Congressional Budget Office projects that the number of foreign-born workers will increase by a further 1.7 million this year due to the surge in illegal aliens crossing the border.
The figures paint a sobering picture of the extent to which the Biden regime has allowed the border crisis to fester. Since Biden took office, well over 3 million illegal aliens have been released into the country.
A recent Gallup poll shows immigration is now Americans’ top concern for the first time since 2019, and a majority of Americans believe that the crisis at the southern border constitutes an invasion.

Former President Donald Trump has weighed in on the murder of 22-year-old nursing student Laken Riley by an illegal Venezuelan immigrant. Trump laid the blame squarely at the feet of President Joe Biden, whose open border policies allowed the suspected murderer — 26-year-old Venezuelan Jose Antonio Ibarra — to illegally enter the United States in 2022.
“The horrible murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley at the University of Georgia should have NEVER happened! The monster who took her life illegally entered our Country in 2022…and then was released AGAIN by Radical Democrats in New York after injuring a CHILD,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social earlier today, continuing: “When I am your President, we will immediately Seal the Border, Stop the Invasion, and on Day One, we will begin the largest deportation operation of illegal CRIMINALS in American History!”
He added: “May God Bless Laken Riley and her family!!! Our prayers are with you!”
Laken Hope Riley, 22, was found dead this past Thursday after she had gone for a jog on the University of Georgia campus. The Augusta University College of Nursing student is believed to have died from blunt force trauma after having been struck by Ibara. He has been charged with seven felony counts — malice murder, felony murder, aggravated battery, aggravated assault, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and concealing the death of another. He was also charged with two misdemeanor counts of hindering a 911 call and failure to appear for a fingerprintable charge.

“We have a new category of crime, it’s called migrant crime, and it’s going to be worse than any other form of crime,” Donald Trump warned during his latest town hall.
Last month, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 171illegal aliens over the course of a two-week operation, convicted or charged with crimes including first-degree murder and child rape, indicating the former president is right to suggest mass migration is increasing crime in the United States.
Often, migrant crime can fly under the radar. Sometimes, this is because it is confined to local and regional news and does not reach a broad audience; sometimes, this is because media outlets consciously choose not to report a suspect’s immigration background and will describe an illegal alien based in Columbus, Ohio, as simply a “Columbus man.”
This does not mean migrant crime is not happening, however. Here are some examples from reports published the last week:
BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.
The most-reported migrant crime of recent days is the murder of 22-year-old Laken Riley in Georgia. The suspect in the nursing student’s killing is Jose Antonio Ibarra, a 26-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela. He crossed the border at El Paso, Texas, was briefly detained by officials, and then, like countless others, released into the country with no meaningful oversight.
Georgia’s Mike Collins (R-10) is in no doubt about who is responsible for this deadly carelessness: “The blood of Laken Riley is on the hands of Joe Biden, [Homeland Security Secretary] Alejandro Mayorkas, and the government of Athens-Clarke County.”
STABBED IN TIMES SQUARE.
Times Square, the scene of several altercations involving migrants in recent weeks, including a high-profile attack on police officers, saw another on Thursday.
During a brawl reportedly involving “dozens” of people, ending with a 17-year-old boy being stabbed in the lower back.
“I saw someone running… and there was blood coming from his back, coming from everywhere,” said one eyewitness.
An unnamed 22-year-old and three migrant teenagers were arrested following the attack.
BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS.
Still in New York City, migrants Dugleidy Gonzalez-Riera, 28, Yefferson Prieto-Galviz, 23, and Morelis Blanco-Cineros, 41, were arrested for stealing “clothing, shoes and fragrances” worth over $5,300 from a string of retail locations.
The trio, who initially gave false names to police, were also found to be in possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, and the car they were driving had bogus license plates.
The migrants carried out their crimes while living in the Roosevelt Hotel at taxpayers’ expense.
MOB MENTALITY.
Randall’s Island, which hosts a tent city shelter for migrants, almost descended into riot earlier in the week as police officers attempted to arrest a migrant vigorously resisting arrest.
Fellow migrants grew restive, first heckling the officers and then pelting them with water bottles, backpacks, and other makeshift missiles in an incident captured on video.

One of the saddest incidents in recent days involved the death of a 10-year-old boy, Alex Wise, in Texas.
Rogelio Ortiz, 50, who was in the United States despite having been removed from the country on six previous occasions, has been charged with mowing the boy down in a hit-and-run.
Ortiz also faces charges for driving while intoxicated.
SAFETY LAST.
An illegal alien from Guatemala, charged with molesting a child, has been released by a judge in Rhode Island despite being wanted by immigration authorities.
State Attorney General Peter Neronha expressed fury at the situation, as his office had “argued that the court should order the defendant held without bail on the grounds that he posed a danger to the community and was a flight risk.”
ICE confirmed the alleged pedophile reached the U.S. interior “without being inspected, admitted or paroled by an immigration official” — a reminder that the migrant “encounters” logged at the southern and northern borders are just the tip of the iceberg in terms of illegal entries.
THE CHICAGO STRANGLERS.
A final example, Venezuelan migrants Fernando Loyo-Rodriguez, 22, Wilker Gutierrez Sierra, 21, Carlos Carreno-Carreno, 20, and Yonnier Guasamucare Garcia, 18, were arrested in Chicago for attacking a 49-year-old man on a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) train,
The attack did not take place in the very early or very late hours, but at 4:30 p.m., and saw the victim beaten, strangled to the point of unconsciousness, and robbed.
Like some of the other migrants on this list, the suspects are all confirmed to have been “staying in area shelters” on the taxpayers’ dime.

President Joe Biden’s border policies are under scrutiny again, following the murder of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley at the hands of illegal Venezuelan migrant Jose Antonio Ibarra this week. Riley, 22, was discovered dead near a lake on the University of Georgia campus on Friday.
Ibarra, 26, entered the U.S. in El Paso, Texas, in September 2022. He was released from a detention center shortly after, absconding into the United States like millions of others encouraged by the Biden government.
“The blood of Laken Riley is on the hands of Joe Biden, Alejandro Mayorkas, and the government of Athens-Clarke County,” Georgia’s Mike Collins (R-10) posted on X on Friday.
Riley was an undergraduate at the University of Georgia before transferring to the nursing program at Augusta University. Ibarra now faces multiple charges, including malice murder. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has called for Ibarra’s execution, stating, “Deportation is not enough. He deserves the death penalty.”
Eighty-one percent of voters class the current invasion of the United States as a “serious problem.”

Chaos erupted at a town hall event in Queens, New York, hosted by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) after protestors began heckling the Congresswoman. The Thursday night event was billed as a discussion on ‘environmental justice’ but spiraled into a shouting match between the Congresswoman’s supporters and constituents who were angry about her inaction to halt the invasion of illegal immigrants at the U.S. southern border.
One attendee, in a video from the event, can be heard shouting, “All you care about is illegal aliens and their votes! You don’t care about your constituents!” Ocasio-Cortez, who is aligned with the far-left Democratic Socialists of America, has seen an uptick in protests at her town hall events over the past year — with voters especially animated over the Congresswoman’s opposition to curbing mass immigration.
“Doing Trump impressions isn’t how we beat Trump. Seeking asylum is a legal right of all people. In the face of authoritarian threat, we should not buckle on our principles – we should commit to them,” Rep. Ocasio-Cortez posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night in response to news that President Joe Biden is considering an executive order enacting new restrictions on asylum seekers. She added: “The mere suggestion is outrageous and the President should refuse to sign it.”
Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive colleagues, who comprise a group nicknamed ‘The Squad,’ have increasingly made it difficult for Congress to address the border crisis. The group has staked out a position on the political far-left, vowing to defeat any legislative attempts to restrict the flow of illegal immigrants. Meanwhile, illegal immigration continues to be a top concern for American voters. The National Pulse previously reported that sixty-five percent of Americans believe ‘invasion’ is the correct description for the Biden-made immigration crisis.

A migrant center in San Diego closed on Thursday after exhausting its funds to aid the substantial number of migrants crossing illegally into the county. The center, which reportedly assisted up to 800 migrants per day, had its resources strained by a significant surge in arrivals over recent weeks. CEO of the center, Kathie Lembo, stated that the facility’s finite resources were stretched to the limit.
The closure has ignited fears in nearby El Cajon, according to Mayor Bill Wells, who voiced his concerns on Fox News. “Over the past few months, we’ve seen 100,000 migrants come across the San Diego border,” Wells said. “A lot of those have been absorbed by this county shelter that used taxpayer money. They asked for $3 million, and they spent over $6 million, and now they say they’re out of money. So we’re going to see migrants congregating in our streets,” he continued. “I think it’s going to become a pretty serious problem pretty quickly.”
US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data indicates that nearly 140,000 illegal immigrants have entered the San Diego area since the commencement of Fiscal Year 2024 on October 1. Wells further expressed apprehensions over an increasing number of daily drop-offs, potentially rising from 300 to 1,000 after the center’s closure. He mentioned the possible recourse of housing migrants in hotels despite the negative impacts on neighborhoods and security infrastructure.
Cities across the country are increasingly suffering significant strains on resources as a result of the unprecedented influx of migrants due to the border crisis.

The number of Chinese nationals illegally crossing the U.S. border in the San Diego sector is surpassed only by Colombians, according to internal data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
The data obtained by Fox News reveals that 21,000 Chinese nationals have crossed into CBP’s San Diego sector in FY 2024 so far, the second-largest foreign group behind 28,000 Colombians that have crossed. By comparison, only 18,000 Mexicans have entered the same sector since October 1, 2023, the start of FY 2024.
The internal data also revealed that thousands of people from “special interest” countries — including Afghanistan — have crossed illegally into the San Diego sector in FY 2024.
The tens of thousands of Chinese ‘migrants’ streaming across the border highlight the severe security risk of the Biden regime’s ongoing border crisis.
Despite the inherent threat posed by these ‘migrants’ from a hostile Communist country — many of whom are military-aged males — the Biden administration actually weakened the vetting process for Chinese nationals caught at the border. In the last year, the number of Chinese nationals caught trying to enter the country illegally has reached unprecedented levels.

Democrat-led Michigan is pushing local people to take migrants into their homes as the Great Lake State struggles to accommodate an unprecedented influx of asylum seekers despite potential safety issues.
“The Office of Global Michigan’s goal is to make Michigan the home for opportunity for our immigrant, refugee and ethnic communities,” explained Poppy Hernandez, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer at the Office, which operates under the auspices of the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Development.
“With expanded refugee resettlement pathways, everyday Michiganders can provide refuge and build a state where people are welcomed with open arms,” Hernandez added.
The scheme would operate through the so-called Welcome Corps established by the Joe Biden regime, with participants required to meet migrants at the airport and take responsibility not only for their housing but also for enrolling any children in schools and helping them to find work, for a period of at least 90 days.
The migrants involved should hail from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela. or Ukraine.

In defense of President Joe Biden’s open borders policies, The Washington Post argues the drugs, crime, and economicturmoil caused by massimmigration should be tolerated since an infinitesimally small number of immigrants go on to become professional baseball stars. Poet and creative writing professor Jaswinder Bolina argues in an essay for the paper’s opinion page that the few “exorbitantly talented” immigrants who play professional sports are reason enough to leave the U.S. border open.
“While that inhospitable bunch has been villainizing migrants and refugees as a strain on U.S. resources, I have been marveling at how much foreign-born players have enlivened (and enriched) baseball in recent decades,” he writes, referring to former President Donald Trump and his millions of supporters across the country. Bolina, a professor of creative writing at the University of Miami in Florida, goes on to argue that the “increasing number of foreign-born major leaguers now counted among the best in the game’s long history dispels the self-aggrandizing myth that the United States possesses any monopoly on excellence.”
Voters concerned about the social and economic costs of mass immigration are “guilty of offensive fixation on national origin, ethnicity, and race,” according to Bolina. Critics of the Biden government’s policy granting mass asylum to illegal immigrants, the creative writing professor argues, “mistake a person’s predicament for a person’s potential.”
The topics of systemic racism, ‘whiteness,’ identity, Donald Trump, and immigration are a fixation of Bolina, featuring heavily in his poetry and writing. According to his essay “Writing Like a White Guy,” Bolina’s father told him to write under a white-sounding pseudonym because no one would publish a non-white poet. His father claims to have been passed over for promotion because he wasn’t white.

Immigration experts are warning that illegal immigration could impact the number of House seats and Electoral College votes in a presidential election.
Back up: This concern began because of an executive order signed by Joe Biden in 2021, which mandated that the U.S. Census Bureau factor in all residents, including non-citizens, in its count of the U.S. population.
The numbers:According to one conservative estimate, 16.8 million illegal aliens are living in the U.S. today [I believe it’s much worse]. When you consider that the average House seat represents 761,168 residents, this means the illegals would account for 22 House seats.
In a presidential election, states receive Electoral College votes in proportion to their House seats. So if New York [thanks to sanctuary city NYC] adds one house seat after the next census, they will also pick up an additional Electoral College vote in the presidential election.
Quote: Mark Krikorian, executive director at the Center for Immigration Studies, said: “Illegal immigrants aren’t even supposed to be here, so their inclusion in the census count for purposes of apportionment really is outrageous.”
What can be done about this? Republican lawmakers have introduced the Equal Representation Act, requiring the Census Bureau to exclude non-citizens from its counts. But with a Democrat President and Democrat Senate, that will never pass.
Big picture:The next census won’t be counted until 2030, so this does not pertain to the upcoming election. But something must be done; otherwise, we risk giving representation to roughly 20 million illegals who have taken up residence in mostly Democrat strongholds.
