Trump v. Barbara · ¶532

Congress’s failure to act, the Executive Branch’s enforcement policies and frequent opposition to state solutions, and some jurisdictions’ policies have resulted in a massive increase in the number of illegal immigrants living in this country. According to leading demographers at Pew Research Center, the illegal-immigrant population grew by more than 2 million between 2022 and 2023, bringing the total number of illegal immigrants in this country to 14 million. J. Passel & J. Krogstad, Pew Research Center, U. S. Unauthorized Immigrant Population Reached a Record 14 Million in 2023, p. 4 (Aug. 21, 2025) (Passel). Demographers estimate that 9% of all births in the United States in 2023 were to mothers who were in the country illegally or on a temporary basis.
