Allowing 360,000 people to fly to the United States every year and be let in without a visa will only incentivize other nationality groups to flood across the border.
The federal fiscal year is Oct-Sep. So while I don't care when you start counting 12 months, you'll bump up against 'official statistics' that claim you are off by a significant factor. It's best to use the official counts even as we all recognize they are missing as many as 30% of the actual entries.
The additional people who can enter the labor force is minor compared to the federal and state benefits awarded to them. Welfare, food assistance, housing, childcare, etc. will bankrupt the country through these 'entitlements' to people who have contributed nothing to date. Essentially, by declaring these people welcome, Biden is enacting expenditures for the federal government; he has no business doing so by the US Constitution. His unconstitutional actions must be halted.
The most recent Biden plan is to apply documents to the 'asylum seekers' in Mexico and bring them through the border as 'legal' entries. This will distort any statistics used for comparison to previous years. Of course, this is a well worn tactic of the Dems, change the definition to a more favorable outcome and then report the new statistics as if they have actually achieved something. They've done it in law enforcement where a felony is now a misdemeanor. The only thing they won't be able to change are homicides; instead they are using that statistic to subvert the 2nd Amendment.
Overall, this is a corrupt Executive Branch and supportive legislature. My hope is the Reps will be able to point out all the subversion that's going on in time to apply corrective actions in 2024.
Ted, the numbers are based on the end of the calendar year. The last month is December 2022 which is three months into 2023 in terms of the fiscal year.
Hi Ted, thanks for the great feedback. Agree on all counts. FYI, I downloaded the big spreadsheet from the https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/nationwide-encounters and have put together a calendar time series versus the FY data which seems to confuse some people. It includes all national encounters. Will continue to chip away at this horrific harm Biden has inflicted on our country.
A couple things of note.
