The Department of Homeland Security has released new data that highlights the extent of illegal immigration during the Biden administration. A particularly striking statistic reveals that 8 percent of Nicaragua’s entire population crossed into the United States illegally between February 2021 and January 2025.
A recently published report based on data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection shows that nationals from Nicaragua, Cuba, Haiti, and Honduras made up some of the largest shares of individuals entering the U.S. during this period. The DHS amplified these findings in a post on X, directly linking the numbers to what it describes as the consequences of the Biden administration’s border policies.
Illegal immigration is siphoning American resources.
Due to unchecked migration during the Biden era, 8% of the ENTIRE population of Nicaragua illegally entered America.
After coming to the U.S., many of these Nicaraguans sent remittances back home. These remittances now make up 37% of the ENTIRE NICARAGUAN ECONOMY, taking BILLIONS of dollars away from our nation.
This is unsustainable, and DHS is working to end it.
The department’s focus on remittances brings an economic perspective to migration data. DHS goes beyond merely reporting the percentage of a country’s population that crossed unlawfully; it also emphasizes how these financial flows can have significant macroeconomic impacts in other countries.
In a follow-up post, the department broadened its scope beyond Nicaragua, presenting the 8 percent figure alongside similar statistics from other nations in the region.
So yes, those long lines of migrants that the Mexican government allowed to simply stream through its country to the U.S. were photoshopped or fake or imaginary: They were terrifyingly real.
Joe Biden and the ghastly crew who ran his show from the shadows were literally trying to import the whole of Latin America into our country. The “Great Replacement Theory” isn’t a theory. It isn’t ‘racist.’ It was real:
“The Biden Administration turned America into a dumping ground for criminals from the third world.
During the Biden era:
– 8% of the ENTIRE population of Nicaragua illegally entered the US.
– This is in ADDITION TO 7% of Cuba, 6% of Haiti, and 5% of Honduras.
We must never forget what Democrats did to our country.”
The report likewise cited the department’s population-level breakdown and timeframe, noting that “the majority of crossings occurred between February 2021 to January 2025.” It also reproduced DHS’s percentage comparison:
“During the Biden era – 8% of the ENTIRE population of Nicaragua illegally entered the US. This is in ADDITION TO 7% of Cuba, 6% of Haiti, and 5% of Honduras.”
The population-based framing is crucial to the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) argument. Instead of merely counting the total encounters, the department compares illegal entries to the overall national population, a strategy aimed at highlighting the proportional impact rather than just the sheer volume.
According to DHS, the total number of illegal migrants from the specified countries is in the millions. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials from the Trump administration have consistently claimed that border crossings increased under Biden, positioning current enforcement efforts as a necessary correction. What we know is this: the figures originate from Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data, covering a four-year period, while DHS employs population-level comparisons to illustrate the scale of the issue.
The ongoing policy debate about the future remains unresolved. If the department’s percentages hold true, the implications are quite serious. When nearly 1 in 12 citizens of a nation enter another country illegally within a four-year span, it signifies more than a minor fluctuation; it represents a substantial event.
DHS seems determined to guide the conversation in this direction.
Democrats aren’t just a bad policy party; they are hell-bent on the destruction of this great republic just for the petty pursuit of power.
