62M Immigrants and Their U.S.-Born Children Now Reside in America
There are now an unprecedented nearly 62 million immigrants and their United States-born children residing in the country, new analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) finds.
Newly released analysis from CIS researchers based on Census Bureau data reveals that there are about 61.6 million immigrants and their U.S.-born children — given birthright citizenship — living across the country. There were 17.1 million U.S.-born minor children of immigrants in the country as of 2017.
Immigrants and their U.S.-born children now represent about one in five residents in America, a population that is expected to increase should current legal immigration levels continue unchanged and uncontrolled.
The U.S. is nearly alone in granting birthright citizenship to the children of foreign nationals. For example, the U.S. and Canada are the two only developed nations with birthright citizenship. On the other hand, countries such as France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Italy, and Germany all have either outlawed birthright citizenship or never had such a policy to begin with.
Between 2010 and 2017, about 9.5 million immigrants resettled in the U.S. The total foreign-born population is now 44.5 million, a 108-year record high, making up nearly 14 percent of the total country’s population.
In 1970, the total foreign-born population was 9.5 million.
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million immigrants. By 2023, CIS researchers estimate that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.

MEXICO WILL DOUBLE U.S.
POPULATION
By Tom Barrett
At the current rate of invasion (mostly through Mexico, but also
through Canada) the United States will be completely over run with illegal
aliens by the year 2025. I’m not talking about legal immigrants who follow US
law to become citizens. In less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion,
ILLEGAL aliens and their offspring will be the dominant population in the
United States.
AMERICA: NO LEGAL NEED APPLY!
“The percentage of
foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has more than tripled over the
last four decades and while the U.S. represents just 5 percent of the world’s
population it attracts 20 percent of the world’s immigrants, according to a new
report.”
Open the floodgates of our welfare
state to the uneducated, impoverished, and unskilled masses of the world and in
a generation or three America, as we know it, will be gone.
Those most impacted are middle class
and lower middle class. It is they whose jobs are taken, whose raises are
postponed, whose schools are filled with non-English speaking children that
absorb precious resources for remedial English, whose public parks are trashed
and whose emergency rooms serve as the local clinic for the illegal
underground.
“Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 million legal and
illegal immigrants every year, with more than 70 percent coming to the country
through the process known as “chain migration” whereby newly naturalized
citizens can bring an unlimited number of relatives to the U.S. In the next 20
years, the current U.S. legal immigration system is on track to import 15
million new foreign-born voters. Between 7 and 8 million of those foreign-born
voters will arrive in the U.S. through chain migration.” JOHN BINDER

In less than two decades, more than 4.1 million foreigners have legally
immigrated to the United States from countries that produce large numbers of
refugees.
Data
released by the White House on Monday revealed the mass legal immigration
levels at which the U.S. has admitted more immigrants than any other country in
the world.
As Breitbart News reported,
President Trump will reduce the number of refugees allowed to enter the U.S.
for Fiscal Year 2019 to no more than 30,000 admissions. This is merely a
cap for refugee resettlements and does not represent the number of refugees
that the administration seeks to resettle. For example, less than 20,000 foreign
refugees have been resettled in the country.
On
top of the more than 1.5 million foreign refugees resettled in the U.S. since
2000 — outpacing the population of Philadelphia — there have been more than 4.1
million legal immigrants admitted to the U.S. from refugee-producing countries.
In
t0tal, there have been nearly 11 million foreign
nationals admitted and resettled in the U.S. in the last decade. This is nearly
three million people larger than the population of New York City.

Immigration
Moratorium Followed Last Period of Record U.S. Foreign-Born Levels
The latest data from
the U.S. Census Bureau marks a nearly 108-year record high of immigration to
the country. In 2017, the foreign-born population boomed to 13.7 percent,
encompassing 44.5 million immigrants.
The
last time the U.S. foreign-born population was this high was in 1910 when
immigrants made up 14.7 percent of the total country’s population.
The
country’s last immigration boom — between 1900 and 1920 — was eventually met
with a near 16. Between 1925 and 1966, the yearly U.S.
legal immigration level did not exceed 327,000 admissions, a four-decades-long
near moratorium that allowed the massive inflows of immigrants from before 1925
the ability to assimilate.
Every
year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 foreign nationals, with the vast majority
deriving from family-based chain migration. By 2023, the Center for Immigration
Studies estimates that the legal and illegal immigrant population of the U.S.
will make up nearly 15 percent of the entire U.S. population.
Hit 44.5 Million, Near 108-Year Record

14 Sep 2018638
The immigrant percentage of the U.S.
population has hit 13.7 percent, near the 1910 record of 14.7 percent,
according to the latest release by the Census Bureau.
In 2017, 13.7 percent of people (one
in 7.3 people) in the United States were immigrants, up from 13.5 percent in
2016, and up from 5 percent (one in 20 people) in 1970, according to the
bureau’s data.
The rising share means 44.5 million
people in a population of 325.7 million people were born abroad. That 44.5
million includes roughly 22 million naturalized citizens, 11 million
other residents, including more than 1.5 million foreign temporary
visa-workers, plus roughly 11 million illegal immigrants, according to the
bureau:
The millions of migrants are
concentrated in the coastal metropolises, such as Los Angeles and New
York, but many are migrating into interior states. According to the New York Times:
New York and California, states with
large immigrant populations, both had increases of less than six percent since
2010. But foreign-born populations rose by 20 percent in Tennessee, 13 percent
in Ohio, 12 percent in South Carolina and 20 percent in Kentucky over the same
period.
The recent inflow includes
a rising percentage of Asians from China, Vietnam, India, said the New York Times.
Brookings Institution analysis of
that data shows that 41 percent of the people who said they arrived since 2010
came from Asia. Just 39 percent were from Latin America. About 45 percent were
college educated, the analysis found, compared with about 30 percent of those
who came between 2000 and 2009.
The Asian inflow
include includes many college graduates because many of them are
immigrating via the various business-backed programs for college-graduate
visa-workers.
The Census Bureau may have
undercounted the number of illegal immigrants, ensuring the immigrant
population now exceeds the 1910 percentage, NBC News reported:
Illegal immigrants can be more
difficult for surveyors to locate due to informal living arrangements, and some
may avoid being included in surveys for fear of being reported to the
government, researchers say.
Jeffrey Passel, a demographer at Pew
Research Center, has estimated that the actual immigrant population is likely 3
percent to 5 percent higher than the number in the Census Bureau’s American
Community Survey.
A chart by
the Washington Post suggests
that this huge wave of migrants has changed politics by giving Democrats’
identity-politics ideology an electoral lock in counties where
immigrants comprise more than 20 percent of the population:
The New York Times report, however, demurely ignored
the political and economic impact of this huge wage of workers,
consumers, and renters.
Some economic impacts are obvious,
for example, immigrants expand the economy by working, consuming and renting
real-estate. Some also raise the productivity of Americans by inventing new
products, importing new goods, or develop novel services that allow Americans
to produce more wealth or enjoyment per hour.
But many less-skilled migrants play
their largest role by simply shifting small slices of wealth from person to
person, for example, by competing up rents in their neighborhood or by
competing down wages in their workplace. The crudest examples can be seen in
agriculture.
European farms tend to buy
labor-saving machines from well-paid European manufacturing workers because
their farmworkers’ wages are high, but many U.S. farm companies simply use
cheap legal and illegal immigrant labor while sharing the savings from not
buying machines between profit-seeking investors and penny-counting consumers.
Next
time you enjoy radishes in your salad, remember the farmworkers like these
Oxnard workers, who harvest the food that we eat. #WeFeedYou #Calor #Ovetime4FarmWorkers
Of course, that cheap-labor business
practice leaves Americans taxpayers to carry the off-work costs of immigrants,
such as welfare programs, civic turmoil, Diversity, education
costs for migrants’ children, and the occasional murder of an Iowa jogger,
a massacre in a Florida nightclub, or the destruction of the Twin Towers in
2011.
But the immigration is not happening
in a vacuum — it is happening as a vast wave of technology allows companies and
investors to move products and assets (such as cheap migrant labor) around the
world, at very low cost. This technological change has liberated societies to
vastly enrich themselves — see China for example — even as it also seems to
centralize power and wealth.
There is plenty of data to suggest that this combination of technological change
and Congress’ passage of the 1965 immigration law have together since shifted a
huge volume of wealth from younger, working Americans towards the older
Americans who own real-estate, stocks, or companies.
That wage-pressure process began
first among the interchangeable, blue-collar, unskilled Americans — such as
farm workers — but it is shifting up the economic ladder to hit
interchangeable, college-educated Americans. In President Donald Trump’s economy,
blue-collar Americans are gaining amid modest restrictions on immigration while
middle-class Americans are seeing slower gains as companies import more cheap college-graduates and also export their jobs to expanding foreign populations of clever, hardworking college-graduates.
This economic shift is reflected in
another important economic change — the declining importance of Americans’
wages and salaries compared to other Americans’ dividends and stock prices. As
the New York Times noted September 12:
Data from the Federal Reserve show
that over the last decade and a half, the proportion of family income from
wages has dropped from nearly 70 percent to just under 61 percent. It’s an
extraordinary shift, driven largely by the investment profits of the very
wealthy. In short, the people who possess tradable assets, especially stocks,
have enjoyed a recovery that Americans dependent on savings or income from
their weekly paycheck have yet to see. Ten years after the financial crisis, getting
ahead by going to work every day seems quaint, akin to using the phone book to
find a number or renting a video at Blockbuster” …
In 2016, net worth among white
middle-income families was 19 percent below 2007 levels, adjusted for
inflation. But among blacks, it was down 40 percent, and Hispanics saw a drop
of 46 percent. For many, old-fashioned hard work has simply not been a viable
path out of this hole. After unemployment peaked in the fall of 2009, it took
years for joblessness to return to pre-recession levels. Slack in the labor
market left the employed and unemployed alike with little leverage to demand
raises, even as corporate profits surged.
Maybe it was inevitable that when
half the population watches its wages stagnate while the other half gets rich
in the market, the result is President Donald Trump and Brexit.
Unsurprisingly, many legislators are
under severe pressure from donors to preserve the current national economic
strategy of growth-by-immigration. In February 2018, for example, a loose
alliance of business-first Republicans, pro-migration Democrats, and
progressive media blocked President Donald Trump’s “Four Pillars” immigration
reforms which would shift the United States back towards a
low-immigration/high-wage economy.
Economists, investors, talking heads
and political advocates in the Democratic and Republican parties are deeply reluctant to draw any connection between the immigration inflow of
consumers, workers, and renters, and the economic shift from wages to
stocks.
But the linkage is often hinted at.
For example, Noah Smith, a pro-immigration, pro-diversity writer for Bloomberg News empire, wrote a column in
July 2018 saying that the 1924 immigration cutbacks helped create the
1929 crash:
The housing crash of the mid-1920s
might well have been a direct result of the curtailment of immigration. And if
the Great Depression and/or the stock crash of 1929 was caused or exacerbated
by that housing crash, there’s a clear and direct link between immigration restriction
and the U.S.’s worst economic crisis of the 20th century. The reduction in
agglomeration effects reported by Ager and Hansen probably also contributed to
lower corporate earnings and sapped vitality in American cities.
Yet Smith is silent about the
flip-side of immigration cuts — the impact of the 1965
immigration expansion law, which has added up to 44.5 million consumers,
workers and renters to the United States’ marketplace.
Immigration Economics
Overall, the Washington-imposed
economic policy of economic growth via immigration shifts wealth from young
people towards older people by flooding the
market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor.
Four million young Americans will
join the workforce this year, but the federal government will also
import 1.1 million legal immigrants, and allow an army of at least 2
million visa-workers to work U.S. jobs, alongside asylum-claiming migrants and
illegal aliens.
That flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar
and white-collar employees. The policy also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps, reduces high-tech investment, increases state and local tax burdens, hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes Americans away from high-tech careers, and sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and
their families, including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions. Immigration also pulls investment and wealth away from
heartland states because investment flows towards the large immigrant
populations living in the coastal states.

A new analysis of the impact on
unrestricted immigration into the United States shows that the nation’s
population will jump to 420 million by 2060, driven by an explosion in
immigrants and their offspring.
Using Census Bureau data, the
group Negative Population Growth said that
current policies suggest that 79 million immigrants will boost the population
during the period.
“Under current immigration policy
U.S. population will rise to 420 million in 2060, versus 341 million if no
immigration was allowed over the 2012 to 2060 period. This implies that
immigrants arriving over the next 45 years, and their U.S. born children and
grandchildren, will add 79 million to U.S. population by 2060. More than
two-thirds of U.S. population growth over this period will be due to
immigration,” said the new analysis.
The report reviews some of the costs
of legal and illegal immigration on the country and taxpayers and makes the
case for a national population policy that considers that impact.
It highlights, for example, the 1965
reforms to the Immigration and Nationality Act which were to limit immigration
but actually fed it through so-called “chain migration,” where one new
immigrant, in an example shown, could bring in some 19 relatives.
The report also puts a spotlight on
the children of illegal immigrants born in the United States who automatically
become citizens. It describes those babies as “deportation insurance.” The
report said:
The U.S.-born baby is, of course, a
U.S. citizen, whose illegal alien parents are eligible to receive, on the
baby’s behalf, food stamps, nutrition from the Women, Infants, and Children
(WIC) program, and numerous tax benefits, including the EITC.
Most importantly, the newborn is
deportation insurance for its parents. Illegal aliens facing deportation can
argue that to deport one or more parents would create an “extreme hardship” for
the new baby. If an immigration officer agrees, we’ve added a new adult to the
nation’s population. At age 21 the former birthright citizen baby can formally
apply for green cards for parents and siblings, and they, in turn, can start
their own immigration chains.

Note to
Dems: High immigration population equals lower GDP
Back in 2010, when the investing community was still eager about
the emerging economies, there was the BRIC ETF you could buy (still can), which
represented a basket of investible companies in Brazil, Russia, India, and
China. The theory was that with the former two, natural resources
would be pillaged in low-regulation environments, and the latter two had to do
with an economic growth model being inextricably linked to booming
populations.
The theory was that the two production economies of Brazil and
Russia, mainly oil, would be balanced out by two emerging consumption
economies. The problem was that shortly thereafter, the government
of Brazil took possession of Petrobras in a thuggish move, and investors got
scared of these economies of socialist and oligarchic fiat (read:
Venezuela). In addition, the price of oil eventually dropped as U.S.
production ramped up and an oil glut kept prices eternally low.
So all the ETF had at that point was India and China, the two
behemoth nations in terms of robust breeding and the emerging consumer
story. But that theory has not born out. What we are
instead seeing is that human population growth stories are not automatically
investible winners. Not anymore. Technology and
automation are increasingly making dense population countries unstable, as
low-skilled manual jobs are not as necessary as they once
were. China is more worried about pacifying an open revolt if its
1.4 billion people ever get hungry enough to engage in another Tiananmen Square
demonstration, where easily over 10,000 people were slaughtered. And
India can't seem to get out of its own clumsy way long enough to make any
traction with its GDP – partially because it is addicted to smothering
regulations, but also, it has so much exposure to cultural poverty due to its
inundated population zones without concomitant employment.
Population growth stories are supposedly consumption-based
economic models but instead are saddled with relatively higher welfare demands
placed on the subject countries in order to pacify the
poverty. Consumption does not produce prosperity any more than
eating a dozen Krispy Kremes produces a handsome physique. Effort is
required for that. Production is required for wealth
creation. Consumption means only that subsistence is
reached. Nothing more. And no real wealth accrued beyond
subsistence.
And yet, here at home, we have Democrats who preach that we need
more immigrants and refugees for our economic growth. What planet
are they living on? Okay: We know they are being their usual
disingenuous selves and that they want foreign mercenaries hired by welfare to
vote for them, but their base buys the low-information agit-prop as if it were
something that should be taught in college.
No, wait – maybe
it actually is.
Consumption-based economies are all the rage in Democrat
circles. "Supply-siders," aka production economies, that
require investment (read: tax cuts) are all about those evil
Republicans. To the left, you don't need capital accumulation or
savings to produce growth. All you need is government
handouts.
What we are seeing is that further immigration into the U.S. from
Mexico is creating greater drains on our welfare rolls as well as
infrastructure, our schools, and our emergency rooms and
hospitals. It also removes low-skilled jobs from American
citizens. Citizens then go out and apply for unemployment insurance
because they can't find employment due to illegals occupying those low-skilled
spaces, a double-whammy, and all of it just to help Democrats get
elected.
No, immigration does not automatically convert to a nation's
wealth. It can do quite the opposite, in fact, and drain it that
much faster and liquidate the treasury, a treasury that the Democrats are all
too eager to pillage in order to buy votes from other foreign nationals who
walk across our border and give them the vote as fast as possible.

Baby Population in U.S. Exceeds One Year of American Births
Associated
Press
The number of United States-born children who
were given birthright citizenship despite at least one of their parents being
an illegal alien living in the country now outnumbers one year of all American
births.
A new Congressional Budget Office
(CBO) report reveals the booming number of U.S.-born children to illegal
aliens who are given automatic citizenship, forever anchoring their families in
the U.S.
These children are commonly known as “anchor babies,” as they
are able to eventually bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the
U.S. through the process known as “chain migration.” Every two new immigrants
to the U.S. brings an estimated seven foreign relatives with them.
In
1993, Harry Reid famously said on the Senate floor that "no sane
country" would grand birthright citizenship to anchor babies. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/26/cbo-at-least-4-5m-anchor-babies-in-u-s/ …
Rep. Yoder’s India Lobby Offers $$$ to Jump Line for Green Cards

Rahi, File
13 Sep 2018144
A group of Indian visa-workers is offering to pay the federal government
$1,500 per family to jump the line for green cards, according to a
friendly report by the McClatchy news bureau.
The proposed trade would send just
$1,500 from each Indian family to the federal treasury in exchange for a
fast-track to the hugely valuable prize of citizenship for at least 100,000
outsourcing-workers and their family members.
That small payment would save the
Indians from paying lawyers’ fees, allow them to compete directly against
American professionals for jobs, and allow them to quickly begin the
chain-migration process for their many parents and siblings. The
money could be used to fund the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
say the advocates, who are also hoping their proposal will be supported by
their ally, Kansas GOP Rep. Kevin Yoder.
“It goes from insulting to
preposterous to propose such a thing,” countered Jessica Vaughan, policy
director at the Center for Immigration Studies. She continued:
It is insulting for them to think
they should get to jump in line ahead of others for paying a
ridiculously low sum of money, and it is preposterous [for them] to
think they somehow are preferred immigrants over millions of others who have
been sponsored and are waiting their turn in line.
Immigration lobbyists are pitching a
plan to pay for disaster relief by charging high-skilled workers
from India and China a fee to obtain green cards.
And they’re leaning hard on Rep.
Kevin Yoder, R-Kansas, to help …
under this proposal green card
applicants from certain countries could pay an additional fee to bypass the
green card backlog. The money would be would be earmarked for disaster relief,
which [the group’s lawyer also] said would increase the chances of passing
green card policy reforms.
An additional $1,500 green card fee
for all employment-based Chinese and Indian immigrants would raise $1.5 billion
over 10 years, according to an analysis by Immigration Voice. A fee of $2,500
would raise another $1 billion …
In January, the group said their
funds could be used to pay for a border wall, said McClatchy:
Mexico refuses to pay for President
Donald Trump’s wall, but advocates representing another group of foreign
workers legally in the U.S. say they would eagerly raise billions for the
barrier if it’d help them get green cards faster.
Who? Under the proposal, Indian and
Chinese tech workers would step up and kick in $2,500 each or more in fees if
it meant they could get their green cards after five or six years instead of
waiting decades as some do now.
“The Indian high-skilled workers
will gladly, enthusiastically and happily pay for the wall if given an
opportunity to do so in order to get fair treatment on green card waiting
times,” said Leon Fresco, an attorney for Immigration Voice, an advocacy group
working with members of Congress on the measure.
The Immigration Voice group says it
represents up to 300,000 Indian outsourcing workers, plus up to 300,000 family
members, who are waiting for green-cards that have been sponsored by their
employers. The group is already working closely with Yoder to pass a fast-track
green-card bill in the 2019 appropriations bills.
Indian advocates say some Indians
visa-workers face a waiting line of up to 150 years to get a green card. The
problem, they say, is the so-called “country caps” on the distribution of the
140,000 employer-based visas awarded each year. Those caps theoretically limit
nationals of each country to just 7 percent of the annual 140,000 visas,
chiefly to ensure a wide distribution of the visas to diverse countries.
But most of the Indians get through
the green-card line in several years, partly because the complex visa rules
allow roughly 23,000 Indian workers and families get green cards every year.
That actual inflow is far higher than the notional 9,800-per-year limit set by
the 7 percent country cap.
There are roughly 300,000 Indians in
the green-card line because brand-name U.S. companies, hospitals,
banks, and universities have outsourced millions of U.S. jobs to Indian
subcontractors, such as Infosys, Cognizant or Wipro. Most of the 300,000
Indians in the line were imported for temporary U.S. jobs via the L-1 and
H-1B visa-worker programs and were later rewarded when their employers
sponsored them for the huge prize of green cards.
Nationwide,
the U.S. government helps companies keep a population of roughly 1.5 million
visa-workers in American white-collar jobs. The various visa programs — H-1B, L-1, J-1, H4 EAD, OPT, TN — allow employers to hire
cheap foreign doctors, therapists,
programmers, engineers, accountants, designers, architects, managers,
recruitment specialists, P.R. experts, and many other professionals.
These huge labor programs boost the stock market by lowering salaries for
many American college graduates and also push many Americans into
lower-tech, lower-wage careers, such as journalism.
For
example, Northwestern University is using the H-1B program to hire roughly 170
foreign graduates each year to fill science and teaching jobs for just $65,000
a year, according to government data provided by MyVisaJobs.com. U.S.
science grads — whether young or old, male or female, Asian, Latino,
African-American, or European-American — were not offered those university
jobs.
The
university is paying its H-1Bs workers just above Chicago’s “living wage” of
$59,215, as estimated by CNBC.
In
July, Yoder worked with the Indian group to win initial approval for a
bill that would abolish the country caps.
If the country caps are removed by
Yoder’s bill late this year, U.S. Fortune 500 companies and Indian outsourcing
firms will be able to offer fast-track green cards to roughly five times more
Indian hires each year. That giveaway will help investors greatly accelerate
the organized outsourcing of middle-class healthcare and technology jobs to
lower-wage Indian employees, so boosting the investors’ stock values.
The new green-cards-for-cash plan is
being offered to Yoder because he chairs the House homeland
defense appropriations committee, which oversees immigration and emergency
management. Immigration Voice’s political advisor, Leon Fresco, told McClatchy:
“At the end of the day, Yoder has a
massive hand here because he needs to write the FEMA legislation,” said Leon
Fresco, the strategist and general counsel for Immigration Voice. “One way or
another there’s no way this doesn’t go through Yoder.”
Previous idea was to
charge more for green cards to help fund the border wall. Now it's to help fund
hurricane aid. (via @BryanLowry3) https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article218272755.html …
New idea for funding hurricane aid: Charge high-tech
immigrants for green cards
Fresco notes that Yoder plan to
eliminate the country caps will not raise the annual distribution of green
cards to H-1B workers.
But Yoder’s plan will allow U.S. and
Indian companies to recruit and import more workers via the L-1 visa program.
The program has no cap and it allows visa-workers to be paid minimum wages,
even for white-collar jobs.
The
State Department is already issuing almost 80,000 multi-year L-1 visas each
year, creating a resident population of perhaps 400,000 L-1 workers. Some L-1
visa-workers are used to set up new businesses in the United States, but many
are used for outsourcing work, alongside H-1B visa-workers.
The
resident population of H-1B workers with three-year visas is at least 500,000 and
may reach 900,000.
Yoder’s
dive into the middle-class outsourcing controversy comes as he faces a
difficult election campaign in a district that voted for Hillary Clinton in
2016. His district already includes employers who have outsourced white-collar
jobs to 1,400 H-1B workers, according
to H-1BFacts.com.

advocates rely on business-funded “Nation of Immigrants” push-polls
to show apparent voter support for immigration and immigrants.
But
“choice” polls reveal most voters’ often-ignored preference that
CEOs should hire Americans at decent wages before hiring migrants. Those
Americans include many blue-collar Blacks, Latinos, and people who hide their opinions from
pollsters. Similarly, the 2018 polls show that GOP voters are far more concerned about
migration — more properly, the economics of migration — than they are concerned
about illegal migration and MS-13, taxes, or the return of Rep.

Yoder’s office did not dismiss the

“We are still in the early stages of
looking into this specific proposal, but we remain committed to ensuring that

spokesman C.J. Grover said in an email.
Yoder is expected to push his

lame-duck session after the voters have cast their votes and as retiring
legislators look for lobbying jobs with business.

Business-First GOP Prepares Post-Election Border-Wall
Trap for Trump | Breitbart
Many
reports show high levels of corruption in the
H-1B program, reflecting the high levels of corruption in the home countries.
For example, corruption in India is ranked as the 81st most corrupt country, partly
because of caste vs. caste hostility, according to Transparency International.
The corruption debilitates the
country’s economic growth, say critics.
The home-country corruption has
ensured numerous arrests of Indian executives in the United States, plus a
series of lawsuits against large Indian outsourcing companies. The lawsuits
charge the Indian companies with discriminating against Americans to ensure the
placement of more Indian workers in U.S. jobs.
“The most objectionable result of
lifting the country caps would be to reward the [American] companies that have
used the [temporary] guest-workers to replace Americans,” said Vaughan. “It
completes the process for them … it institutionalizes this in a way
that will cause permanent harm to Americans who aspire to white-collar jobs.”
Moreover, the
“guest-worker visas are not meant to be a stepping stone for green cards,”
she added. But for Indian visa-workers, “that was their expectation, and it was
wrong, and now they are demanding their expectations be filled … They
think adding a little money to the discussion might be enough to grease the
way, but that is not the way Americans see their immigration system,” she
added.
“Americans value fairness in our
immigration system,” along with the need for some diversity, minimal corruption
and a first-come-first-served policy, she said.
Also, the Indians’ offer to pay for
approval by Yoder and other legislators to jump the line “shows the disdain
they have for other categories” of would-be immigrants, said Vaughan.
“To suggest for a mere $1,500 they should be allowed to jump in line, that
they are somehow more worthy … in the way you would try to buy off a
police officer for not writing a ticket — it smacks of the same kind of
mentality,” said Vaughan.
The $1,500 payment is also trivial,
she said, because the acceleration of green cards would be extremely valuable,
she said. It would allow the visa-workers to quit their low-wage outsourcing
jobs sooner, and also accelerate the arrival of their elderly parents via
chain-migration rules, she said. Parents “are one of the most expensive
demographic groups [for taxpayers] because of their likely need for health care
benefits, and the fact that they have not contributed over a lifetime to Social
Security or any other social welfare program through taxes,” she said.
The promised payment of $1.5 billion
is enough to keep the federal government operating for four hours. In 2017, the
federal government’s budget was $3,664 billion.
But the Indian lobby has managed to
win sponsorship from more than 80 percent of the House for Yoder’s H.R. 392
bill to remove the country caps. Their lobbying campaign relies on frequent
group visits to member’s district offices, plus the persuasive power of the
Indian doctors from local hospitals and the wives of visa-workers, Fresco told
Breitbart News.
Yoder’s bill might get passed this
Fall, Vaughan said. “I don’t think most members of Congress understand the
implications [of the country cap removal] and they are attracted [to
the argument] that it is somehow more fair to do away with the per-country
caps,” she said.
“Per-country caps ensure a diverse
flow of immigrants from many countries,” said RJ Hauman, government
relations director at the Federation for American Immigration Reform. He continued:
Without those caps in place, India
will consume the lion’s share of the permanent skilled visas, creating a
discriminatory system that favors a single foreign nation. H.R. 392 shreds any
pretense that programs like the H-1B and L visa [programs] are anything but a
track for intending immigrants – not a short-term foreign labor program. No one
promised [these Indian] temporary guest workers that they would ever have the
chance to immigrate permanently.
“Allowing temporary guest workers
the opportunity to pay for green cards – no matter where the money goes –
completely undermines the integrity of our immigration system,” said Hauman,
adding:
The last thing we need is another
pay-for-play route to citizenship like the fraud-ridden EB-5 program.
Immigration Economics
Overall,
the Washington-imposed economic policy of economic growth via immigration
shifts wealth from young people towards older people by flooding the market with cheap white-collar and blue-collar foreign labor.
Four million young Americans will
join the workforce this year, but the federal government will also
import 1.1 million legal immigrants, and allow an army of at least 2
million visa-workers to work U.S. jobs, alongside asylum-claiming migrants and
illegal aliens.
That
flood of outside labor spikes profits and Wall Street values by cutting salaries for
manual and skilled labor offered by blue-collar and white-collar employees.
The policy also drives up real estate prices, widens wealth-gaps,
reduces high-tech investment,
increases state and local tax burdens,
hurts kids’ schools and college education, pushes
Americans away from high-tech careers, and
sidelines at least 5 million marginalized Americans and their families,
including many who are now struggling with opioid addictions. Immigration
also pulls investment and wealth away from heartland states because investment
flows towards the large immigrant populations living in the coastal states.
CBO: At Least 4.5M Anchor
Babies in U.S.
There are at least 4.5 million anchor babies in the U.S. under
the age of 18-years-old, according to the CBO. This estimate does not include
the potentially millions of anchor babies who are older than 18-years-old, nor
does it include the anchor babies who are living overseas with their deported
foreign parents.
The 4.5 million anchor babies estimate exceeds the four million
American children born every year. In the next decade, the CBO estimates that there
will be at least another 600,000 anchor babies born in the U.S., which would
put the anchor baby population on track to exceed annual American births —
should the U.S. birth rate not increase — by more than one million anchor
babies.
Already, the anchor baby population exceeds the entire
population of Los Angeles, California and is roughly half of the population of
New York City.
As Breitbart News reported, a decade of
chain migration, allowing newly naturalized immigrants to bring an unlimited
number of foreign relatives with them, has exceeded two years of all American
births. Altogether, chain migration since 2005 has imported roughly 9.3 million
foreign nationals to the U.S.
Even
after discounting normal immigration, the number of chain migration arrivals at
the nation’s airports during 5 years exceeds the number of babies born during
each year. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/12/18/five-years-of-chain-migration-adds-more-people-to-u-s-than-one-year-of-american-births/ …
Five Years of Chain Migration
Adds More People to U.S. than One Year of American Births - Breitbart
Every year, the U.S. admits more than 1.5 foreign nationals,
with the vast majority deriving from family-based chain migration. In 2016, the
legal and illegal immigrant population reached a record high of 44 million. By
2023, the Center for Immigration Studies estimates that the legal and illegal
immigrant population of the U.S. will make up nearly 15 percent of the
entire U.S. population.
Idaho Is Fastest-Growing State in U.S.
Charlie Litchfield/AP
Idaho has the fastest-growing population in the United States,
according to newly released data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Over the last
year, the Census Bureau concludes, Idaho’s population
increased by 2.2 percent, with now 1.7 million residents living in the state
that has one of the most racially homogeneous makeups.
Idaho was the nation’s fastest-growing state in 2016. Its
population increased 2.2% to 1.7 million. See new #population estimates for your
state here: https://go.usa.gov/xnUVu
Chief of the Population Estimates Branch Luke Rogers said in a
statement that domestic migration of Americans is the reason behind Idaho’s
population growth between July 2016 and July 2017.
“Domestic migration drove change in the two fastest-growing
states, Idaho and Nevada, while an excess of births over deaths played a major
part in the growth of the third fastest-growing state, Utah,” Rogers said.
The U.S. Census Bureau found that net international migration to
the U.S. has continued growing the country’s population –with 1.1 million
foreign nationals being admitted over the last year – with the overall U.S.
population growing by 2.3 million individuals.
Every
year, 1.5 million foreign nationals arrive in the U.S. The foreign-born
population, most recently, has reached historic levels, with now more than 44
million immigrants residing in the country, as Breitbart News reported.
Mexico has the largest group of
legal and illegal foreign nationals in the U.S., with 1.1 million immigrants
from the country arriving in the U.S. between 2010 and 2016. Mexican nationals
make up roughly one in eight new arrivals to the U.S.
The largest increases from 2015 to 2016 to immigration to the
U.S. have come from the Middle East, the Carribean, Central America, and Sub-Saharan
Africa.
The booming foreign-born population
is largely due to family-based chain migration, which was established by the
1965 immigration legislation allowing new arrivals to the U.S. to bring an
unlimited number of foreign relatives with them.

Immigrant Population in U.S. Booms to 44M, Majority from Mexico
SANDY

WASHINGTON, D.C. — There is now a record level of immigrants living in
the United States – standing at roughly 44 million people nationwide –
who entered the U.S. both illegally and legally from a
foreign country.
Research conducted by the Center for
Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota reveals the massive scope of the U.S.
immigrant population, which has contributed to keeping American wages stagnant
while driving up costs of social services.
Camarota’s research reveals that in 2016, there were between 43
and 45 million immigrants in the U.S., nearly quadruple the immigrant
population in 2000.
Mexico, as noted by Camarota, has the largest group of legal and
illegal foreign nationals in the U.S., with 1.1 million immigrants from the
country arriving in the U.S. between 2010 and 2016. Mexican nationals make up
roughly one in eight new arrivals to the U.S.
Legal and illegal immigrants now make up close to 14 percent of
the entire U.S. population, or roughly one out of every eight American
residents. Camarota says this is the largest percentage in 106 years.
The largest increases from 2015 to 2016 to immigration to the
U.S. have come from the Middle East, the Carribean, Central America, and
Sub-Saharan Africa.
The booming foreign-born population is largely due to
family-based chain migration, which was established by the 1965 immigration
legislation allowing new arrivals to the U.S. to bring their foreign family
members, spouses, children, and extended family to the U.S.
For instance,
as Breitbart News has reported, on
average, for every new legal immigrant from Mexico, the immigrant brings six
relatives to the U.S. years later when they obtain U.S. citizenship.
President
Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, most recently, have called for an end to chain
migration, slamming it for its negative impact on American workers and the
country’s working-class, who are often forced to compete with new arrivals for
blue-collar jobs.
“A merit-based system, by definition, would be safer than a
lottery or even extended family-based immigration,” Sessions said during a
speech in New York City, New York. “We want the best and the brightest in
America. The President’s plan is essential to protecting our national
security, while also banning drunk drivers, fraudsters, gang members, and child
abusers.”
Harvard
University economist George Borjas, an immigration expert, recently said the current family-based chain migration
system is “really hard to justify as a rational immigration policy.”

Mexican Invasion
By Tom Barrett
Mexico, a nation that has benefited enormously from
American generosity is now working to destabilize our country.
At the current rate
of invasion (mostly through Mexico, but also through Canada) the United
States will be completely over run with illegal aliens by the year 2025. I’m
not talking about legal immigrants who follow US law to become citizens. In
less than 20 years, if we do not stop the invasion, ILLEGAL aliens and their
offspring will be the dominant population in the United States.
According to US Border
Control (see LINK below). “They will have made such inroads into the
political and social systems that they will have more influence than our
Constitution over how the U.S. is governed. The ugly consequence of an
ignored U.S. Constitution is already taking place.” The millions upon
millions of illegal aliens streaming into the US are the foundation for what
could be another attempt at secession by several US states. Many of them will
use ill-conceived programs that reward illegal immigration to become US
citizens. Other illegals will simply go to the polls and vote without
taking the trouble to apply for citizenship. Together, these groups
could form a voting block that could tear our nation apart. Those of you who read
the email version of this column should go to www.ConservativeTruth.org to
see the map posted there. It shows the borders of a new nation proposed by
influential Mexican nationals and Hispanic US Citizens. (See LINK below:
Professor Predicts 'Hispanic Homeland'.) It includes six northern states of
Mexican, as well as Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, and southern
Colorado. The idea of a Hispanic Homeland could be ignored as the pipe dream
of crackpots if a substantial majority of Mexican citizens did not support
it. A Zogby poll of Mexicans done in June 2002 revealed that a substantial
majority of Mexican citizens believe that southwestern America properly
belongs to Mexico. They said that Mexicans do not need the permission of the
U.S. to enter this territory. 58 percent of Mexican citizens agreed with this
statement: "The territory of the United States' southwest rightfully
belongs to Mexico." Only 28 percent disagreed with the statement. Listen
to what some Mexican government officials and US leaders (including
politicians and Professors at taxpayer-funded Universities) have to say on
this subject. Jose Angel Gutierrez, professor, University of Texas, Arlington
and founder of La Raza Unida political party screams at rallies: "We
have an aging white America. They are dying. They are shitting in their pants
with fear! I love it! We have got to eliminate the gringo, and what I mean by
that is if the worst comes to the worst, we have got to kill him!" (See
LINK below.) Richard Alatorre, Los Angeles City Council "They’re afraid
we’re going to take over the governmental institutions and other
institutions. They’re right. We will take them over. Mario Obledo, California
State Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under Jerry Brown, who was
awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Bill Clinton, says, “California
is going to be a Hispanic state. Anyone who doesn’t like it should leave."
Proposition 187 was the California initiative supported by a majority of
Californians that denied taxpayer funds for services to non-citizens.
Speaking at a Latino gathering in response to Proposition 187’s passage in
1995, Art Torres, the Chairman of the California Democratic Party, said:
"Power is not given to you. You have to take it. Remember, 187 is the
last gasp of white America in California." The national newspaper of
Mexico, Excelsior: "The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning
to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot." Gloria
Molina, Los Angeles County Supervisor: "We are politicizing every single
one of these new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country...I
gotta tell you that a lot of people are saying, "I’m
going to go out there and vote because I want to pay them back." Jose
Pescador Osuna, Mexican Consul General: “We are practicing ‘La Reconquista’
in California." "Reconquista" means the reconquest of the US
southwest by Mexico. (See LINK below.). These people are serious! They think
they are going to take US territory. The Mexican President declared it here
in our country, and Bill Clinton signed a Presidential Executive Order that
paves the way for at least part of Mexico’s dream. Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo
said in Chicago on July 23, 1997, "I have proudly affirmed that the
Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders and that
Mexican migrants are an important – a very important – part of this. For this
reason, my government proposed a constitutional amendment to allow any
Mexican with the right and the desire to acquire another nationality to do so
without being forced to first give up his or her Mexican nationality."
Translation: It is next to impossible to receive Mexican citizenship unless
you can prove you are of Mexican descent. But Mexico knows that the US has
soft immigration laws and will grant citizenship to almost anyone. (After
all, we grant citizenship every day to immigrants from countries who have
sworn to destroy us.) So Mexico wants
to take advantage of this ridiculous situation by encouraging their citizens
to apply for US citizenship while keeping Mexican citizenship. That way the
Mexican government can influence the political process here in the US.
Executive Order 13122, signed on May 25, 1999, by the most treasonous
president this nation has ever been cursed with, Bill Clinton, established an
Interagency Task Force on the Economic Development of the Southwest Border.
Part of the Order reads, "The Southwest Border or Southwest Border
region is defined as including the areas up to 150 miles north of the United
States-Mexican border in the States of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and
California." According to experts on international law, this sets the
stage for a 150-mile-wide “Border Zone” that will neither belong to Mexico or
the US. This could then become the first area of a Hispanic Nation that would
eventually encompass the areas shown in the map of the proposed Republica del
Norte (The Northern Republic). Our government, pushed by liberal Democrats,
has been systematically laying the groundwork for such a breakaway republic.
Did you know that immigrants from Mexico and other non European countries can
come to this country and get preferences in jobs, education, and government
contracts? It’s called affirmative action or racial privilege. Some time ago
a vote was taken in the U.S. Congress to end this practice. It was defeated.
Every single Democratic senator except Ernest Hollings voted to maintain
special privileges for Hispanic, Asian and African immigrants. They were
joined by thirteen Republicans. Bill Clinton and Al
Gore have repeatedly stated that they believe that massive immigration from
countries like Mexico is good. They have also backed special privileges for
these immigrants. Mexico, a nation that has benefited enormously from
American generosity is now working to destabilize our country. Is
“destabilize” too strong a word? I don’t think so. Whether or not Mexican
leaders think they can actually create enough hatred against “gringos” to
accomplish the creation of a new republic made up of mainly US territory,
they know that pushing that agenda will cause huge political problems here
and allow Mexico to accomplish many of their goals. Is the government of Mexico
behind this? You have seen quotes from a Mexican President and a Mexican
Consul General in support of it. They have everything to gain and little to
lose by pushing it. The Mexican government is also pushing illegal
immigration, which destabilizes our economy. The US Border Control website
(see LINK below) shows an illustration from a Mexican government publication
showing their citizens how to best illegally enter the US. Why? It takes the
strain of taking care of unemployed Mexicans off the Mexican treasury and
puts it on the US treasury. And when the illegals get on welfare, they send
some of their money home, which helps the Mexican economy. All this talk by
Mexican and US officials about the US illegally occupying Mexican territory
does nothing but breed racial hatred. The sad thing is that none of this is
about race. It is about the things that all wars and conflicts are about:
Greed, power and money. I don’t like to talk about a problem without offering
a solution. The US politicians and professors who advocate taking US
territory are guilty of sedition. Remove them from their offices and
(hopefully) put them in a federal penitentiary where they can consider the
error of their ways. The Mexican politicians who do the same are guilty of
inciting sedition. This is very close to an act of war. Immediately cut of
all economic aid to Mexico until its government publicly disavows this
lunatic plan. Finally, we must realize that we can’t stop this by marching US
troops into Mexico. We should use troops to guard our borders, because the US
Border Patrol cannot cover the huge US-Mexico border without help. And we
need to use pass laws that will stop the government from rewarding illegal
immigrants at the expense of those who follow the law. We have a huge immigration
problem in this country. This ridiculous Hispanic Homeland idea is just a
symptom of the problem. INTERNET RESEARCH: Professor Predicts 'Hispanic
Homeland' 1. http://www.aztlan.net/homeland.htm Professor Predicts 'Hispanic
Homeland' ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A University of New Mexico Chicano Studies
professor predicts a new, sovereign Hispanic nation within the century,
taking in the Southwest and several northern states of Mexico. Charles
Truxillo suggests the “Republica del Norte,” the Republic of the North, is
“an inevitability.” He envisions it encompassing all of California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Texas and southern Colorado, plus the northern tier of Mexican
states: Baja California, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León and
Tamaulipas. Along both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border “there is a growing
fusion, a reviving of connections,” Truxillo said. “Southwest Chicanos and
Norteño Mexicanos are becoming one people again.” Truxillo, 47, has said the
new country should be brought into being “by any means necessary,” but
recently said it was unlikely to be formed by civil war. Instead, its
creation will be accomplished by the electoral pressure of the future
majority Hispanic population in the region, he said.

Tancredo:
Another Dirty Little Secret About Massive Immigration About to Be Exposed –
Hopefully
AFP PHOTO /
Jewel SAMAD
Are you ever
tied up in a traffic jam and start to wonder, “Where are all these
people coming from?” Have you tried to go camping only to find out the
campgrounds have long since been “filled up?” Have more and more acres in
your area that once produced food, now only produce urban heat pads? Has your
state had to divert more and more water from agricultural usage to human
consumption? And in general, has the population footprint
on the environment in your area been enlarged by population growth?
Does water run downhill?
Then the answer to the question
asked in the first sentence is immigration — both legal and illegal. In
fact, according to both the Federation
for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) and the Pew Hispanic Center, new immigrants and their U.S.-born children account for 75 to 80
percent of our annual population growth.
You don’t have to be a tree
hugger to recognize that massive population increases have negatively affected
the environment. Everything from water scarcity to urban sprawl can be
attributed to population increases and, as I said, population increases in the
U.S. can almost completely be attributed to immigration. So, beyond the
negative impact of massive immigration on housing costs, schools, hospitals,
energy, incarceration rates, and the breakdown of assimilation that the left
and the media refuse to acknowledge — add environmental impact.
Congress passed a law in 1969
known as NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) and it has been used
extensively and with a heavy hand to regulate development in almost every area
of our economy. A central feature of the law is the provision requiring
that any proposed governmental action that affects the environment be examined
through public comment and hearings to assure its benefits outweigh any adverse
impact on the environment. Federal agencies must conduct “Environmental Impact
Assessments” before implementing any new action or program.
Even the Pentagon and every
branch of the military has to comply with NEPA in its programs and operations.
And yet, since 1970, not one federal agency — not the predecessor to the U.S.
Customs and Immigration Service, the Immigration and Naturalization Service
(INS), nor the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, the Centers
for Disease Control, the Federal Highway Administration, nor the Public Health
Service — not a single federal agency has ever complied with the mandates of
the NEPA with respect to its immigration-related programs and activities.
There is no secret as to the
lack of interest in applying NEPA requirements to immigration. You see, the law
requires that BEFORE you undertake a project you must go through an extensive
review and that means no new immigration, or very little, until the review can
be completed. Holy scare the living heck out of the open borders crowd,
Batman!! And then what if the review shows the real damage being done to
the environment is substantial (and it would be hard not to)? What
would the remedy be? Too horrible for both the “borders mean nothing”
crowd or the crony capitalists to contemplate.
Well now, the good news.
Finally, in 2017, 48 years after NEPA was enacted, that bipartisan “blind-eye”
toward immigration is being challenged.
A coalition of non-profit
organizations led by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), an affiliate
of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), has filed a lawsuit to force
federal agencies to follow the requirements of NEPA and examine the impact of
mass immigration on the environment. The lawsuit was filed in October of 2016
in federal district court against the Department of Homeland Security, but, if
successful, it would lead to changes in many other federal agencies as well.
The 85-page Preliminary
Statement filed by nine plaintiffs in the U.S. Federal Court for the District
of Southern California opens with this statement of a claim against the federal
Homeland Security agency:
Like its predecessor agency,
the Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”), DHS has turned a blind eye
regarding the environmental impacts, including the cumulative impacts, of its
actions concerning foreign nationals who enter and settle into the United
States pursuant to the agency’s discretionary actions. The resulting
environmental impacts from these actions are significant and an analysis of these
impacts by DHS is required pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act
(“NEPA”), see 42
U.S.C. § 4331 et seq. (2016),
and its implementing regulations. But DHS, like INS before it, undertakes no
such NEPA review. Accordingly, DHS is acting in contravention of its legal
obligations.
The lawsuit was the subject of
a September 23, 2017, presentation at the annual meeting of the Writers
Workshop in Washington, DC, which can be viewed here.
Full and equitable enforcement
of the National Environmental Policy Act is 48 years overdue. Citizens who want
immigration policy to reflect national priorities and not “global citizenship”
should support the new lawsuit and demand the same of our elected officials.

Instead of covering 690,000 younger illegals now enrolled in former President

Institute.”
US
immigration population hits record 60 million, 1-of-5 in nation

Census: Immigration to
bust 100-year record, continue surging
Loading...
A huge boom in
immigration, legal and illegal, over the past 16 years has jumped the immigrant
population to over 43 million in the United States, according to a new report.
And when their
U.S.-born children are added, the number grows to over 60 million, making the
immigrant community nearly one-fifth of the nation's population, according to
federal statistics reviewed by the Center for Immigration Studies.
Steven Camarota, the Center's
director of research and co-author of the report, said, "The enormous
number of immigrants already in the country coupled with the settlement of well
over a million newcomers each year has a profound impact on American society,
including on workers, schools, infrastructure, hospitals and the environment.
The nation needs a serious debate about whether continuing this level of immigration
makes sense."
Concerns about the
explosion of immigration, especially of illegals, helped Donald Trump win the
presidency and has prompted his administration to crack down on illegal
immigration and refugees.
The new report does not
break down the percentage of legal and illegal immigrants in the U.S., although
there are an estimated 12 million undocumented aliens in the country.
It found that since
2000, the U.S. immigrant population has increased 8 million and a sizable
number came from Mexico and Latin America, the source of most illegal
immigrants.
Key findings:
- The
nation's immigrant population (legal and illegal) hit a record 43.7
million in July 2016, an increase of half a million since 2015, 3.8
million since 2010, and 12.6 million since 2000.
- As a
share of the U.S. population, immigrants (legal and illegal) comprised
13.5 percent, or one out of eight U.S. residents in 2016, the highest
percentage in 106 years. As recently as 1980, just one out of 16 residents
was foreign-born.
- Between
2010 and 2016, 8.1 million new immigrants settled in the United States.
New arrivals are offset by the roughly 300,000 immigrants who return home
each year and annual natural mortality of about 300,000 among the existing
foreign-born population. As a result, growth in the immigrant population
was 3.8 million 2010 to 2016.
- In
addition to immigrants, there were slightly more than 16.6 million
U.S.-born minor children with an immigrant parent in 2016, for a total of
60.4 million immigrants and their children in the country. Immigrants and
their minor children now account for nearly one in five U.S. residents.
- Mexican
immigrants (legal and illegal) were by far the largest foreign-born
population in the country in 2016. Mexico is the top sending country, with
1.1 million new immigrants arriving from Mexico between 2010 and 2016, or
one out of eight new arrivals. However, because of return migration and
natural mortality among the existing population, the overall Mexican-born
population has not grown in the last six years.
- The
states with the largest numerical increases in the number of immigrants
from 2010 to 2016 were Texas (up 587,889), Florida (up 578,468),
California (up 527,234), New York (up 238,503), New Jersey (up 171,504),
Massachusetts (up 140,318), Washington (up 134,132), Pennsylvania (up
131,845), Virginia (up 120,050), Maryland (up 118,175), Georgia (up
95,353), Nevada (up 78,341), Arizona (up 78,220), Michigan (up 74,532),
Minnesota (up 73,953), and North Carolina (up 70,501).
