Illegal Immigration Exploded in January Illegal Immigration Exploded in January 75,000 migrants were apprehended in that month alone. Published 26 seconds ago on Feb 16, 2021 By Connor Grant of MRCTV that this number represents a staggering 157% increase compared to January 2020, and marks the highest January total since 2006, when over 100,000 migrants were apprehended and thats not even counting the nearly 3,000 who were caught trying to illegally pass through ports of entry. This report comes in light of the Biden administrations immigration policies, which have been lax with regards to containing illegal immigration. According to a recent poll, Bidens least popular executive orders are connected to immigration. One of the executive orders requires illegal aliens to be counted in the U.S. census, which 42% of registered voters oppose. Similarly, 48% of registered voters oppose Bidens expansion of the refugee cap.
