A recent admission from the New York Times has shed light on the unprecedented surge of immigration in the United States, a phenomenon largely overlooked by the mainstream media. After voters decisively rejected the Democrats’ grand scheme of wealth redistribution disguised as migration policy, the Times acknowledged that total net migration during the Biden administration is expected to exceed a staggering eight million people. This includes both legal and illegal immigrants, reinforcing that the immigration situation at the southern border is far from a “humanitarian crisis” as often claimed by the left.
This latest influx is nothing short of historic. According to reports, the rate of arrivals now exceeds even the peak years of Ellis Island traffic, when the U.S. welcomed millions of Europeans. Taking into account today’s larger population, the recent levels of immigration are being labeled as the fastest seen since at least 1850. The ramifications of such an influx should send alarm bells ringing on Capitol Hill, but most Democrats continue to ignore the boat they are sinking in.

The New York Times may be finally awakening to the realities of the situation, but their longstanding denial of the facts has allowed the Democrat party to sweep these significant changes under the rug. Instead of recognizing the overwhelming impact of this mass migration on ordinary American families, the paper, along with others like the Washington Post, has maintained a disingenuous narrative that claims these are merely “thousands” of migrants entering the country. Such misleading characterizations have enabled those in power to keep the public ignorant about the true scale of the crisis, which has resulted in a significant wealth shift away from working-class Americans toward the elite class.
By downplaying the economic consequences of this immigration surge, the media has contributed to a false narrative that permits government officials to treat the situation as if it is uncontrollable or a mere byproduct of a global humanitarian crisis. This refusal to acknowledge the economic implications stems from a predominantly pro-migration ideology that dominates major media outlets. Rather than focusing on the fiscal realities, these outlets craft a narrative designed to transform America into a “Nation of Immigrants,” conveniently ignoring the economic upheaval it has caused.
The history behind these policies is critical in understanding their devastating impact on ordinary Americans. The 1965 bipartisan decision to increase immigration reversed previous efforts to manage the inflow of migrants that had already been beneficial to the workforce and the economy. With a nod from leaders like Lyndon Johnson and later figures such as George H. W. Bush, whose policies drastically increased immigration rates, the floodgates were opened wider. Fast forward to the Biden administration, where Alejandro Mayorkas has essentially doubled down on this strategy, pushing for more low-wage workers in an economy already strained by inflation and economic challenges.
The fallout from this misguided policy is stark: lower wages, skyrocketing housing costs, rising interest rates, and a general sense of civic disarray that affects all 330 million Americans. Acknowledgment of these issues, even from unexpected outlets like the New York Times, hints at the potential for Democrats to grasp the reasons behind their political failures, including their significant losses in the 2024 elections. However, with their heads still comfortably entrenched in the sand, it remains uncertain if they will actually grasp the gravity of the situation or continue to promote distraction tactics to maintain their narrative.
