Illegal immigrants who entered the United States under the Biden-Harris administration could swing this and future elections for Democrats, recently released data show.

The data, reported by MarketWatch, found that the illegal alien populations in seven key swing states grew by an average of 515 percent since Biden and Harris took office, during which time an estimated 10 million illegal aliens entered the country. In two of those states, Arizona and Michigan, the illegal alien population grew more than 700 percent. In real numbers, this growth eclipses the margin of victory from each state's respective winner in the 2020 election.

This trend could help tip the scales for Harris in November, and other Democrat candidates going forward. Foreign-born voters swung largely for Democrats in 2020, and a recent study from the Center for Immigration Studies found that illegal immigrants could swing the election to Harris.

"Assuming non-citizens would have the same voting preferences as naturalized citizens in 2016, then it would require 4.49 percent of non-citizens to vote in Georgia and 5.13 percent to vote in Arizona in 2024 for the net gain in votes for Harris to exceed the margin of victory in the last presidential election," the report found. Exit polling data indicates that illegal immigrant or other non-citizen voting would almost certainly help Democrats.

The data, compiled by Jon Sutz, who writes on Substack, demonstrate that in several of the seven swing states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — the growth in the illegal alien population under the Biden-Harris administration outnumbers the most recent presidential margin of victory.

In Georgia, where the illegal alien population surged more than 400 percent since 2020, Biden's margin of victory was just over 12,000 votes. And in Arizona, the illegal alien population is estimated to have surged far beyond the 2020 margin of victory of just over 10,000 votes.

But the true number of illegal immigrants in each state is extremely difficult to calculate. A study from 2018 found that the unauthorized immigrant population in the United States could be anywhere from 11.3 million to more than 22 million.

There has been a coordinated effort by left-wing groups to leverage mass immigration to sway electoral outcomes. A Daily Wire investigation found that a network of leftist organizations, funded in part by Democratic mega-donor and billionaire George Soros, work to naturalize non-citizens and mobilize them as voters to "sway the outcome" of national elections.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) alleged that Harris supports mass immigration in part because it will shift America "dramatically to the Left," allowing Democrats to "win every election forever." Elon Musk has similarly warned that illegal immigration gives Democrats an edge in congressional races.
