Illegal migrant border
apprehensions doubled in 2019.
January 58,300
February 76,534
March 103,719
April 109,144
The US is
headed for adding over 1 million illegals in 2019. We already have 30 million
and these welfare migrants are too expensive to deal with. It will take decades
and cost $billions to return them to their home countries.
In 2018, the US issued
9 million visas.
34
million legal immigrants live in the US. In
fiscal 2017, the US admitted 1,127,167 legal immigrants. 748,746 people
received family-based U.S. lawful permanent residence.
378,421 additional immigrants were admitted as refugees
through other programs.
Each year, about 50,000 people receive green cards through
the U.S. diversity visa program, also known as the
visa lottery. Since the program began in 1995, more than 1 million immigrants
have received green cards through the lottery. Trump has said he wants to eliminate the program, which seeks to diversify the
U.S. immigrant population by granting visas to underrepresented nations.
The U.S. admitted 22,491 refugees in fiscal 2018, down
from 53,716 in
fiscal 2017 – and about half of the 84,995
refugees admitted in fiscal 2016. This decline reflects a lower
admissions cap. For fiscal 2019, refugee admissions have been capped
at 30,000, the lowest since Congress created the modern refugee
program in 1980 for those fleeing persecution in their home countries.
In fiscal 2017, 137,855 employment-based green cards were
awarded to foreign
workers
and their families. The Trump administration’s
points-based plan would increase the number of green cards granted due to
having certain skills.
