The new 2024 Census count for states was just released and it shows a giant surge in immigration.

In 2022, adding humanitarian migrants (refugees and asylum-seekers) increased international net migration from 999,000 to 1,693,000, an increase of 69.5%. In 2023, the increase was from 1,135,000 to 2,290,000, or 101.7%. The 2024 figure of 2,786,000 included humanitarian migrants.

What’s not known with any precision – and what angers voters – is how many of the new entrants were illegal immigrants. A recent Goldman Sachs estimate puts the number at around 60%.

We do know that LEGAL immigrants are helping America avoid the demographic time bomb that is bringing rapid declines in population in many of the other Western and Asian industrialized nations.
