I don’t see any problem with immigrants. We need immigrants.
I see a problem with illegal invaders and illegal aliens sneaking across our borders and a problem with the last and current administration in blocking them, and in the failure of elected officials to step up to the plate and oppose them and the fawning toleration for these people extended by too many religious groups in the U.S., and the shameless encouragement of and employment of these invaders by too many American businesses.
How many legal immigrants should we bring in each year and what kind of immigrants should they be in terms of skills and abilities?
The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 36 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest level in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.
Currently, 1.6 million legal and illegal immigrants settle in the country each year; 350,000 immigrants leave each year, resulting in net immigration of 1.25 million. Since 1970, the U.S. population has increased from 203 million to 310 million, i.e., over 100 million. In the next 40 years, the population will increase by 130 million. Three-quarters of the increase in our population since 1970 and the projected increase will be the result of immigration. The U.S., the world’s third most populous nation, has the highest annual rate of population growth of any developed country in the world, i.e., 0.977% (2010 estimate), principally due to immigration.
