Impossible, since According to the 2010 United States Census, the Asian Indian population in the United States grew from almost 1,678,765 in 2000 (0.6% of U.S. population) to 2,843,391 in 2010 (0.9% of U.S. population), a growth rate of 69.37%, one of the fastest growing ethnic groups in the United States.

Indian Americans are the highest-income and best-educated people in the United States and the third largest among Asian Americans who have surpassed Latinos as the fastest-growing racial group, according to a new survey.

I have personally known or met over 50,000 Indians since my arrival on student visa in 1960. Majority have acquired citizenship. I was granted citizenship in 1970.

When Trump recently attended a Republican Indian-American Charity Event (NJ?), he also made the point about what stellar performers Indians have been, among immigrant groups - highest educational achievement, and highest rate of entrepreneurship.

Both Hindus and Sikhs have been among the most successful immigrant groups in many countries around the world (as are Jews and Chinese).

One of the major reforms which were proposed in Trump’s immigration speech in Phoenix, was to move away from the current system, which emphasizes family relationships and deliberate quotas for poor and those from poor countries, toward a point based quality system (like most countries on Earth). Young, healthy, rich and highly skilled/educated immigrants would be prioritized - those who contribute the most to the economy.
