President Joe Biden’s much-touted pre-election border “closure” left multiple loopholes that allow unlimited mass economic migration into American jobs and homes.
At 2 p.m., Biden is expected to tout a made-for-television policy that would allow, but not require, restrictions on if more than 2,500 migrants cross the open border and stream through the unfinished wall each day for a week.
This means that his “closed” border policy will allow an influx of 75,000 illegal immigrants per month, or 900,000 per year.
The planned influx of illegal immigrants would amount to roughly one illegal immigrant for every four American births and would come in addition to the roughly 1 million legal immigrants and 750,000 temporary workers authorized by a 1990 law from Congress.
But the Biden plan also exempts huge numbers of migrants who exploit border loopholes that already allow at least 85,000 migrants to cross the border each month, and 1 million per year, without congressional approval.

This means that Biden’s closed border policy would allow an estimated 3.5 million legal, illegal, temporary and semi-legal immigrants to enter the U.S. annually — roughly one additional immigrant worker, renter and consumer for every American birth.
This nation-changing, wealth-shifting economic policy is deeply unpopular, even as it enjoys strong support from investors, CEOs and Wall Street.
Former President Donald Trump’s campaign recognizes the financial damage immigration does. Biden’s unpopular policies “flood the American workforce with millions of low-wage illegal immigrants, a direct attack on the wages and opportunity of hard-working Americans,” the Trump campaign said in a May statement.
White House officials briefed preferred reporters on the new policy. POLITICO report January 14, just before Biden speaks:
There are some exceptions, including unaccompanied children, victims of human trafficking, and migrants facing acute medical emergencies or imminent security threats. Migrants who have cleared customs and have appointments at ports of entry are also not allowed to enter the country.[s] Migrants will continue to be screened through the Border Patrol’s smartphone app. The Biden administration currently screens about 1,500 migrants per day at official ports, and the president’s action does not affect humanitarian parole processes established for certain migrants.
In 2023, Biden has allowed 138,000 immigrants to enter the U.S. through an exception for “unaccompanied children.” This door remains open even though the majority of these “children” are young people looking for work in the U.S. economy. The rest are the children of illegal immigrants, whose government powers are being handed down to them to encourage them to stay in the U.S.
The “trafficking victims” exemption likely refers to girls and women who are being used as prostitutes among the at least 13 million undocumented immigrants in the country, but Biden’s pro-immigration border chief, Alejandro Mayorkas, could also use it to admit more adults who have been trafficked by labor brokers.

The third exception — “migrants facing an acute medical emergency or imminent safety threat” — is arguably smaller but gives U.S. nonprofits more leeway to smuggle vulnerable migrants across the border, such as women with sick children or pregnant women.
The fourth exemption is very large, at 1,500 people per day, and can be easily expanded. It also applies to migrants who make reservations at ports of entry via the Customs and Border Protection smartphone app. If this “CBP-One” system doubles to 90,000 people per month, compared to the 45,000 already allowed per month, it would add an additional 1 million economic migrants per year.
The fifth exemption is also very large and has no time limit: “The President’s action does not affect established humanitarian parole pathways for certain migrants.” This quasi-legal influx allows 30,000 migrants per month under limited “humanitarian parole” exemptions from Cuba, Nicaragua, Haiti, and Venezuela, as well as “family reunification” migrants from several South and Latin American countries.
The report makes no mention of the massive influx of “fugitives” sneaking across the poorly guarded border: In 2023, some 670,000 migrants sneaked across Mayorkas’ mostly open border.

The “shutdown” policy also ignores the growing number of white-collar workers who overstay their visas to continue working for subcontractors to Fortune 500 companies.
Governor Mayorkas has instructed enforcement officers to largely ignore illegal immigrants who don’t commit serious crimes, so very few illegal immigrants are being sent home.
The Biden administration’s policy reportedly does not include any directive to deport undocumented illegal immigrants, whose numbers in the United States are increasing.
Extract Migration
Since at least 1990, the federal government has quietly adopted extractive migration policies to grow the consumer economy after helping investors relocate high-wage manufacturing sectors to low-wage countries.
Immigration policies extract huge amounts of human capital from impoverished countries: additional workers, white-collar graduates, consumers, renters. Push up They are depressing stock prices by cutting American wages, subsidizing unproductive businesses, raising rents, and sending real estate prices soaring.

This secretive economic policy has siphoned jobs and wealth from the Midwestern states by providing coastal investors and government agencies with a flood of low-wage workers, over-occupied renters and subsidized consumers. Similar policies are harming the people and economies of Canada and the UK.
Policies like colonialism have also harmed small nations and killed hundreds of Americans and thousands of immigrants, including: Taxpayer-Funded Jungle Trail Through the Darien Canyon in Panama.
