I'll bet you never thought of immigration as an industry.
Recall President Eisenhower’s warning about the military industrial complex — the “iron triangle” built on lobbying, government approvals and contracts. The immigration industrial complex is organized the same way: government is constantly lobbied for more and more immigration, the government complies, and the immigrants arrive.
The immigration industrial complex has been at its peak power during the Biden Administration, which has blurred the boundary between legal and illegal immigration by redefining asylum to allow in pretty much anybody who shows up at the border.
