These overstayers are a very significant chunk of the illegal population. We don\u2019t know exactly how many there are, but we know it\u2019s at least 40 percent [of the illegal population, and] they tend to be more white-collar workers because they had to qualify for a [visitor or work] visa in the first place.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>President Donald Trump and his deputies launched programs to reduce the overstay population, she added. But Mayorkas and his allies have rolled back those protections, such as penalties for overstaying graduates from U.S. colleges, she said:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Now, we have Biden loosening standards for issuing the non-immigrant visas and broadcasting that immigration enforcement in the interior area has been nearly snuffed out by policy. So we should be very concerned that for the foreseeable future, there are going to be even more people trying to get these visas to get into the country because they know that if they get here, they\u2019ll be able to stay in all likelihood. I expect the problem to get much worse.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In December, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/12\/28\/gop-dhs-hides-spike-illegal-overstay-migration-protect-bbb-amnesty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">two GOP Senators charged<\/a> that officials delayed the release of the September 2020 report. The purpose of the delay was to protect the Democrats\u2019 unpopular amnesty proposals within the pending Build Back Better spending bill, the two Senators claimed.<\/p>\n<p>In 2021, Biden and his deputies allowed roughly 1.5 million migrants into the United States \u2014 or almost one migrant for every two children born during the year. That huge population included roughly 500,000 illegals, a few hundred thousand legal immigrants and visa workers, at least 50,000 refugees, plus 671,000 migrants who were allowed across the southern border under an expanding variety of legal pretexts, such as asylum or family reunification.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The additional numbers for the visa overstays in Biden\u2019s first eight months will not be released until at least September 2022.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_19438626\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.breitbart.com\/media\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1232870737.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-19438626\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/GettyImages-1232870737-1024x683-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"990\" height=\"660\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>A migrant from Colombia injects himself with insulin after crossing the United States and Mexico border to turn himself over to authorities on May 13, 2021 in Yuma, Arizona. (RINGO CHIU\/AFP via Getty Images)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>GOP legislators rarely complain about \u2014 or vote against \u2014 visa overstays, partly because the overstay migrants help businesses by serving as workers, consumers, and renters. Instead, GOP leaders prefer to spotlight the border chaos to help boost the election-day turnout of their electoral base.<\/p>\n<p>The 2020 visa overstay numbers are unique. They include numbers from five months before the coro0nanvirus disaster and then from seven months when few visitors were allowed and many visitors were in no rush to return home. The DHS report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dhs.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/cbp_-_fy_2020_entry_exit_overstay_report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">says<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the FY 2020 data represents an anomaly when compared with the prevailing trend of decreasing Expected Departures and Overstay. Expected Departures in FY 2020 (46,195,116) were 17.40 percent lower than in FY 2019 (55,928,990)&nbsp; \u2026 CBP calculated a total overstay rate of 1.48 percent, or 684,499 overstay events.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Roughly one-third of the overstays return home after one year, the report noted:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>At the end of FY 2019 [30 September 2019], the overall Suspected In-Country Overstay number \u2013 i.e., those for whom the Department did not have evidence of a departure or transition to another immigration status \u2013 was 676,422 or 1.03 percent. [One year later] As of September 30, 2020 \u2026 the FY 2019 Suspected In-Country Overstay rate 0.59 percent.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Almost 28,000 foreign workers and student\/workers overstayed their visas:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For nonimmigrants who entered on a student or exchange visitor visa (F, M, or J visa), the FY 2020 Suspected In-Country Overstay rate is 1.55 percent of the 1,801,550 students and exchange visitors scheduled to complete their program in the United States.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report noted that 19,044 Indians overstayed their visas, including roughly 4,112 with F, M, or J work-eligible visas. That number is significant because Indians provide a huge share of the temporary foreign workers in Fortune 500 jobs \u2014 and a large share of the white-collar illegal population.<\/p>\n<p>The overstays also include 73,000 Mexicans:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For Mexico, the FY 2020 Suspected In-Country Overstay rate for those traveling through air and sea POEs is 2.39 percent of 3,055,056 expected departures. This represents overstays by people who arrived by air and sea POEs and does not include overstays by people who arrived by land.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The report hid the data about overstays by foreign workers who legally enter B-1\/B-2 visas but then illegally take jobs. The rate of B-1\/B-2 overstays is high for visitors from Chile, France, Poland, China, Egypt, the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>Poor countries had the highest share of overstays, although they also contributed few visitors. This category includes Sudan, Eritrea, Nepal, Afghanistan, Benin, Burundi, and Chad.<\/p>\n<p>Many&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tag\/immigration-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">polls show<\/a>&nbsp;that Americans want to like immigrants and immigration.
