‘Explosion’ of illegal immigration causing ‘economic crisis’

Wall Street Journal editor-at-large Gerard Baker warns the “explosion” of illegal immigration in the United States is causing an “economic crisis”. A 2023 fiscal report by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) discovered the number of illegal immigrants entering the US grew year-on-year during Biden’s term. The fiscal year report of illegal immigrants grew from 3.7 million in 2021 to almost 4.8 million in 2022 to nearly 6.2 million in 2023. “It’s causing tremendous strain on cities who have to house many of the migrants, have to feed them and house them and give them basic welfare resources,” Mr Baker told Sky News host James Morrow. “It’s obviously a huge national security problem because millions of people are coming across the United States border.”
