RIGGING 2024: Illegal Immigrants Sent to Swing States In Mass Numbers Under the Biden, Harris Regime

Several swing states are home to large numbers of unauthorized immigrants or have seen a large surge in their numbers since 2021, according to federal court data compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University.

Immigration boosts federal tax revenue, but states and localities bear unique costs

Immigration is a central theme in this year’s presidential election, as former President Donald Trump seeks to capitalize on voter discontent over a recent surge in unauthorized immigration to the U.S.

Polling suggests immigration is a top concern for Americans in 2024, and immigration-court data shows that swing states including Pennsylvania, Georgia and Arizona are among those with the greatest increase in unauthorized migrants since 2021.

Winning these bellwether contests could be decisive for Trump or Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee, in the November election.

Immigration, both legal and illegal, tends to grow the national economy and improve the federal fiscal budget outlook, according to a July report from the Congressional Budget Office. That’s because even undocumented immigrants typically pay more in income and payroll taxes than they receive in federal benefits.

It’s a different story for many state and local governments.

“The research literature has generally found that increases in immigration raise state and local governments’ spending — particularly on education, health care, and housing — more than their revenues,” the report said.

A record share of Americans said in February that they see illegal immigration as a “critical threat to the vital interests of the United States,” and the issue ranks as the No. 1 most important problem facing the country, according to Gallup.

A separate Gallup poll released last month showed that for the first time since 2005, a majority of Americans would like to see a decrease in all immigration.

The most popular destinations are large states with strong economies, including Texas, Florida, California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York.

But several key swing states have also seen their unauthorized populations grow, according to court filings.
