We have just had the two highest decades of legal immigration in our history. Since 1990 35 million legal permanent immigrants have settled here. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today, less than one in 8 is foreign born, the highest in 105 years; and within a decade, one in 7 will be foreign-born, the highest in our history.

We bring in far too many legal immigrants. We have a huge surplus of labor. The labor participation rates are the lowest in 38 years. Immigrants are taking American jobs and depressing wages. If we had a shortage of labor, wages would be going up, not down.

Civilian labor force participation rate

87% of the legal immigrants are minorities as defined by the USG. Immigrants and minorities vote more than two to one Dem. By 2019 half of the children 18 and under will be minorities and by 2043 non-Hispanic whites will be 50% of the population, down from 89% in 1970. The Dems are well on their way to becoming the permanent majority party. Demography is destiny.
