Nothing you can part a hard number on, obviously. But you can derive trends easily enough.
For example, check 2024, a year that’s trended down. Let’s pretend that number was 100,000 immigrants/month for all of that year, and we’re being ridiculously conservative here. That’s 1.2 million souls. These are real people, that require food, water, shelter, medicine, all that. It’s a bit staggering just imagining the infrastructure needed, let alone humanitarian needs.
So, using stupid low numbers, that adds to 4.8m people in 4-years. We could drill down forever, but that count is not going to get lower. 7.2m strikes me as a reasonable figure. Especially if we’re including immigrants from sources other than the Southern border.
So what is before 2022? I’m on a phone rn so maybe I can’t see it all, but I’m guessing it looks that that all the way back to 2016. So, not really a “Biden” thing. Just a regular thing that happens.
You can get a fair picture here:
