Data: 1.7M Central American,
Mexican Illegal Aliens Living in U.S. Despite Deportation Orders, by John
Binder, 3/12/19.
There are more than 1.7 million illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico who have deportation orders or pending deportation orders that have yet to be deported from the United States.
Documents obtained by
the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI) reveal that there are roughly 1.74
million illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico that continue living in
the U.S. despite orders to be deported.
The federal data found
that there are nearly 645,000 illegal aliens from Central America and Mexico
who have final orders for deportation and about 1.1 million illegal aliens from
Central America and Mexico with pending deportation orders.
These
illegal aliens include:
· 574,170 from Mexico
· 446,551 from El Salvador
· 380,912 from Guatemala
· 339,443 from Honduras
From
Mexico, alone, there are about 194,000 illegal aliens living in the U.S. who
have been ordered deported and 381,000 Mexican illegal aliens who are living in
the country while their deportation orders are pending.
“The
illegal immigration problem in America is bursting at the seams,” IRLI
Executive Director Dale Wilcox said in a statement.
“Among the roughly 12 to
22 million illegal aliens living in the United States, we have a population
greater than the City of Philadelphia’s that have been ordered removed or has
pending final removal orders—from Central America and Mexico alone,” Wilcox
said. “Instead of taking on more aliens from caravans, our country should
expedite the removal of those who have already received due process and been
given removal orders.”
The more than 1.7
million illegal aliens with deportation orders from Central America and Mexico
is more than twice the population of Boston, Massachusetts; more than 25 times
the population of Portland, Maine; and about double the population of South
Dakota.
Last month, there were
more than 76,000 illegal border crossings and inadmissible foreign nationals,
the most in this month in 12 years — a record high of monthly illegal immigration for President
Trump’s administration.
Experts now project that
illegal border crossings for this calendar year will be more than three times
what they were in 2017 and nearly double last year’s total crossings. The
projection predicts there to be more than 840,000 illegal border crossings
this year, though Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen
Nielsen predicts about 900,000 crossings for the year.
Today, the majority of the U.S.-Mexico border remains
open. At the same time, the U.S. has continued funding border walls and border security programs in
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt, and Lebanon.
