Loan Forgiveness & Amnesty

Here’s why 2024 could be the year student loan borrowers finally get forgiveness

After the Biden administration’s gigantic setback at the Supreme Court over its sweeping student loan forgiveness plan, it almost immediately announced a new strategy to lower people’s debts.

Borrowers could see that relief this year, experts say.

However, far fewer people will benefit from the revised aid package, and the plan could be met with the same legal challenges as President Joe Biden’s first policy.

Here’s what borrowers should know about student loan forgiveness prospects in 2024.

Biden is breaking the border on purpose — he wants mass amnesty

The backlog of pending cases in the nation’s immigration courts has hit 3 million, as millions of border migrants have been released into the United States to seek asylum in the past three years.

It’s a shocking figure, but just the latest example of President Biden’s efforts to break the immigration enforcement system, likely to force a massive amnesty he has long sought.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — among others — has accused former President Donald Trump of “gutting” the immigration system, but such claims are little more than projection.

Most firearm deaths are suicides

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, 48,830 people were killed with a firearm in the US in 2021. Suicides were 54% of all firearm-related deaths that year, compared to 43% from homicides.

The share of suicides was smaller for younger people. Suicides made up less than 40% of gun deaths for people ages 20 to 35, a share that was relatively constant throughout early adulthood. After 45, most gun deaths were suicides. By age 75, 94% of gun deaths were suicides.

3 Methods Make Up Almost All Cases of Suicide in the U.S.

Suicides in the U.S. hit an all-time high in 2022, according to data recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated 49,449 Americans took their own lives last year.

These numbers aren’t merely mirroring population growth either. Since the turn of the century, the suicide rate in the U.S. has risen roughly 30%. Among Americans aged 10 to 24, suicide is now the second-leading cause of premature death.
