Report: Migration wave under Biden the largest in U.S. history
Net migration under the Biden administration is likely to exceed eight million people.
The Biden administration’s so-called “open borders” policy has significantly impacted the American economy, uprooted lives and exposed social and political fault lines in the United States.
The current migration surge is not only the largest but also the fastest in U.S. history, outpacing even the post-World War II era, with an average net migration of 2.4 million people per year between 2021 and 2023.
The influx of low-wage workers has led to wage stagnation, decreased opportunities for native-born citizens, decreased productivity, increased housing costs and exacerbated income inequality.
According to a report by senior writer David Leonhardt, total net migration during the Biden administration is likely to exceed eight million people, encompassing both legal and illegal entries. Leonhardt notes that this number even surpasses the entries into the U.S. during the height of Ellis Island’s history as an immigrant processing station.

Migrant surge harming economic opportunities of native-born Americans
The economic impact of this migration surge is also considered to be profound and far-reaching. The influx of millions of newcomers, many of whom are then employed in low-wage jobs, has resulted in wages for native-born Americans being devalued. This flood of labor has cooled wage growth, lowered productivity and exacerbated income inequality. This has also constrained career opportunities for native-born citizens in various sectors, from manufacturing to local services.
The surge in migration has also driven up housing costs and rental prices due to increased demand, creating a vicious cycle of economic strain for many families who have already been struggling to find affordable housing, have had difficulty competing for jobs and have had personal struggles navigating the country’s sudden increased cultural diversity. The impact has been particularly pronounced in areas where the economy relies heavily on low-skilled labor, as native-born workers are often pushed out by the flood of newcomers.
The social fabric of many communities has been stretched thin, with conflicts arising over issues ranging from language barriers to differing cultural expectations, raising the popularity of government policies that restrict migration and secure the border.
“Stephen Miller was spot on when he said that the Senate and House should first pass a border security bill through the budget reconciliation process,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), referring to President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming White House deputy chief of staff and advisor for homeland security issues.
“While I support spending restrictions and tax cuts, my top priority – and the first order of business in the Senate Budget Committee – is to secure a broken border,” added Graham, the incoming leader of the Senate Budget Committee. “The bill will be transformational, it will be paid for and it will go first.”
