| The estimated official count of immigrants who had entered and remain illegally in the US until 2019 was 11,047,000, according to figures from the Migration Policy Institute. In January 2022, the Center for Immigration Studies put this number at 11,460,000. There are no more recent figures; only estimates which can be very inaccurate. However, according to NBC, a medium that usually defends the undocumented, in the fiscal year of 2022 it is estimated that 2,760,000 foreigners crossed the southern border illegally. And nearly a million more stayed in the US after entering legally with a tourist or a working visa. As of May 2023, the fiscal burden of providing essential services and benefits to illegal aliens costs American taxpayers nearly $151 billion each year. |
United States: Record 853,955 Foreigners Overstay Legal Visas in Fiscal Year 2022
June 30.– More than two decades after Islamic terrorists exploited the U.S. government’s inefficient system for tracking foreigners who overstay visas, the problem is only getting worse with a startling 853,955 visa overstays in fiscal year 2022. A new report issued by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) tries to downplay the severity of the situation by shining a light on the positive, that the overstay rate is a mere 3.67% compared to 96.33% of over 23 million nonimmigrants that departed the country on time in accordance with the terms of their admission.
The reality is that the latest available overstay figure is an alarming record-breaker for the U.S. and it indicates that national security is not being taken seriously by the government. At least four of the September 11 hijackers were in the United States with expired visas and all these years later the government—under both Democratic and Republican administrations—has not found a way to track visa overstayers adequately.

Rev. Torli H. Krua, Founder of Universal Human Rights International, in an open letter to the 54th Liberian Legislature, called for a public hearing on his research uncovering “200 years of lies and deception responsible for systemic corruption, massacres, poverty, etc in Liberia.” He also called for the adoption of a new Constitution that promotes participatory democracy to replace the current one he described as a corrupt document designed to enslave and oppress ordinary Liberians while empowering and enriching politicians.
Gustavo Petro se siente muy incómodo con la prensa de su país como suele suceder con los gobernantes autoritarios que no toleran las críticas. El 11 de junio tildó de "mentirosas" las encuestas publicadas, afirmó que la prensa "odia" a la Vicepresidenta Márquez por ser "negra" y acusó a la revista Semana de "ordenar al CTI de allanar otras oficinas de la Presidencia", provocando reacciones violentas de sus partidarios con agresiones a periodistas de Caracol Radio, RCN y Blu en distintas ciudades de Colombia. El tal "allanamiento" se refiere a la inspección judicial por sospechas de corrupción realizada en el piso 13, donde funciona una oficina de inteligencia de la Presidencia.
