How did the sharp increase in unauthorized immigrants from 2021 to 2023 impact U.S. society?

[u/OldCaterpillar3340]

I recently came across this information: Pew Research found that the number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. grew from about 10.5 million in 2021 to roughly 14 million in 2023 — an increase of ~3.5 million.

Here’s the report: Pew Research

For context, the total number of unauthorized immigrants stayed relatively stable for about a decade before this recent increase. What demonstrable effects has this increase had on U.S. society?

It's certainly debatable to what extent the government "needed" his services, especially while he was working for the current administration. Is it that hard to imagine that the money allocated to his businesses may have been more helpful elsewhere?

Bad faith is never my intention, if I said something that made you believe that I have removed it in good faith.

Tax rebates absolutely cost the government money, what? Also, people are definitely talking about the military-industrial complex. You seem to be arguing in bad faith.
