Breitbart: NY Times: Biden's Migration Wave Is 'The Largest in U.S. History'
The U.S. is experiencing the largest immigration surge in history, with over eight million migrants entering during the Biden administration. This influx, which includes both legal and illegal migrants, is unprecedented and has significant economic implications, shifting wealth from ordinary Americans to wealthier investors.

The ruling halts the regulation that would have enabled over 100,000 uninsured illegal immigrants to access health insurance.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach called the ruling expected, criticizing the Biden administration's attempt to redefine illegal aliens as lawfully present. He emphasized the potential financial burden on taxpayers if the rule had been enforced, estimating costs could reach millions.

Factors for this surge include Biden's more lenient immigration policies and external crises in countries like Haiti and Venezuela. While these policies have led to increased pressure on social services and job competition, they may also reduce service costs for higher-income Americans.
