The New York Times — now with nothing to lose given the results of November 5 — has finally admitted that the wave of immigration, legal and illegal, during the Biden years has been the greatest in history. NYT writer David Leonhardt writes:
Total net migration during the Biden administration is likely to exceed eight million people, including legal and illegal migrants. That’s a faster pace of arrivals than during any other period on record, including the peak years of Ellis Island traffic, when millions of Europeans came to the United States. Even after taking into account today’s larger U.S. population, the recent surge is the most rapid since at least 1850.
Leonhardt goes on to quote Bernard Yaros Jr., an economist at Oxford Economics, who said that the influx had “helped cool wage growth” for citizens. Breitbart’s Neil Munro adds:
The practical result of Biden’s Extraction Migration policy has been lower wages, higher housing costs, higher interest rates, lower productivity, and greater civic chaos for 330 million Americans.
Commenting on the Times admission, Munro says:
For many years, the New York Times, the Washington Post, and similar outlets have refused to admit the policy, the scale, or the economic impact of migration on ordinary Americans. Instead, establishment journalists have described the huge, wealth-shifting inflow as “thousands” of migrants. Those skewed reports in the media have minimized the voters’ recognition of the inflow’s scale and impact.
When lies are no longer useful, the truth comes out.
