"Although many think of immigrants only as workers, less than half of those who arrived since 2022 are employed," the report added.
Driving the large increase is illegal immigration, the report found, noting that 58% of the increase under President Biden’s watch is attributable to illegal migration. Since Biden took office in 2021, the foreign-born population has increased by a total of 6.6 million people.
The 6.6 million person increase in just 39 months under Biden is "unprecedented," the report argues, noting that the figure is roughly equal to the increase seen during the nine years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"If present trends continue, the foreign-born population will reach 62.5 million in 2030 and 82.2 million by 2040 – larger than the current combined populations of 30 states plus the District of Columbia," the report said.
The report also points out that the numbers represent a net change in total population, more than making up for outflows of migrants or deaths.

"The current scale of immigration (legal and illegal) into the United States is without any precedent in the nation’s history," the report concludes. "Perhaps the most fundamental question these numbers raise is whether America can successfully incorporate and assimilate all the immigrants already here, let alone millions more in the future."
