Biden policies found to have boosteed unauthorized migrant numbers in key states

Hold onto your hats, folks — new data reveals a staggering surge in unauthorized migrant populations under President Joe Biden’s watch.

According to estimates from the Pew Research Center, over a million unauthorized migrants settled in crucial swing states between 2021 and 2023, with hundreds of thousands more landing in other key areas like Texas during the same two-year span of Biden’s term, as Breitbart reports.

Let’s break this down by the numbers, because they don’t lie.

Swing states see massive population shifts

Florida, often a political battleground, saw its unauthorized migrant population balloon by 700,000 in just two years from 2021 to 2023.

Georgia wasn’t far behind, adding 100,000 unauthorized migrants during the same period, while Pennsylvania and Michigan each welcomed 80,000.

North Carolina matched Georgia’s increase with 100,000 new unauthorized migrants, and Ohio wasn’t spared either, tacking on 70,000 between 2021 and 2023.

Arizona, Nevada face growing numbers

Arizona, another swing state with tight electoral margins, absorbed 50,000 unauthorized migrants in the same window under Biden’s border policies.

Nevada and Wisconsin each saw 30,000 new unauthorized migrants settle in their borders, numbers that might seem small but pack a punch in close races.

Even smaller states like New Hampshire, with a population of just 1.4 million, added 5,000 unauthorized migrants—proof that no corner of the map is untouched.

Texas shoulders heavy load

Then there’s Texas, a Republican stronghold, which took in a whopping 450,000 unauthorized migrants during the 2 years between 2021 and 2023.

That’s a hefty burden for a state already grappling with border security challenges, and it raises questions about federal policy priorities that seem to sidestep local concerns.

Turns out, actions — or in this case, inactions — have consequences, and states like Texas are left holding the bag while Washington debates.

Other states feel impact

Colorado, which has leaned blue in recent years, added 40,000 unauthorized migrants to its population between 2021 and 2023, while New Jersey, a state some see as a future battleground, saw an influx of 150,000.

Across the board, the Pew Research Center estimates the total unauthorized migrant population hit a record high of over 14 million in 2023 under Biden’s administration, with some scholarly guesses pegging the real number closer to 22 million.

Those figures aren’t just stats on a page — they’re a wake-up call about the scale of border policy impacts, and it’s high time for a serious conversation about what comes next.
