The United States could suspend all legal immigration to the country for the next 40 years and maintain a workforce where there are still more than two U.S. workers for every one retiree, a new study finds. The latest study by the Center for Immigration Studies’ Steven Camarota reveals that despite claims by the big business lobby, Wall St., and corporate executives that mass legal immigration is necessary to maintain a sizeable workforce, current legal immigration trends have little to no impact on the working-age population.
The workforce population is generally measured by the ratio showing the number of U.S. workers per every one retiree. Camerota’s research finds that if the U.S. implemented an immigration moratorium for the next 40 years, it would hardly have an impact on the number of workers per retirees.
For example, at current legal immigration levels where the U.S. imports more than 1.2 million legal immigrants a year — at the detriment of American workers’ job prospects and wages — the working-age population would decrease from 64.3 percent of the total population in 2017 to 59 percent in 2060.
Likewise, under a scenario where the U.S. halted all legal immigration, the working-age population would dip to about 56.7 percent of the total population by 2060 — only a 2.3 percent difference from projections where current mass legal immigration trends continue.

We need to end it just to assimilate the ones who are already here.
The we need immigrants thing is a big monstrous lie.
we could end all legal immigration and still have a fast-growing work force .. because the illegal immigration is so huge, massive....
Review all disability claims every three years and I think we'll find there is a very substantial supply of workers.
The treason lobby won’t like this.
Establishment Republicans and Obama Democrats will join forces to nip this idea in the bud.
Racist white America must be replaced for the good of the world.
It’s a democidal lie predicated on replacing the US population with foreign populations.
The more important number in those charts is the ratio of workers to retirees.
“The United States could suspend all legal immigration to the country for the next 40 years “
Brilliant!

This was done before, up until 1964, I believe. But to do it today would be “racist.”
“The we need immigrants thing is a big monstrous lie.”
Yes, it is. I personally think that legal immigration should preferentially reflect our needs as a nation, and should also support the legal immigration of those who are married to US citizens (with a loss of citizenship if the marriage doesn’t last for at least 5 years).
If we can’t even end Asylum, Chain Migration or AnchorBaby Shake & Bake Citizenship, I doubt if the consensus for an Immigration Moratorium will ever be there.
If the laws changed, allowing for a President to make that change by issue of Executive Order, then maybe, but the process of that policy change will be long, brutal and costly.
But who will vote for Democrats?
as far as “needing immigrants”, there is a truism that we “need” farm workers, and other immigrants, to do “jobs that Americans aren’t doing”.
How true is this? I agree that farm work, or working in meat processing plants, or cleaning hotels and office buildings can be hard physical labor. But the question is, do we really need to import people to do such work? How did we evolve into this situation, and how do we get out of it?
Simple. We let people eat and not work.
You have it backwards. The immigration flood came first then the welfare state went into high gear. American were just making too much and the globalist had to replace us.
So long as American women eschew marriage and fear childbirth, there can be no resolution of the problem
It is, and someone please show me where it says we are required to take them. We have one of the largest populations in the world, double what Russia has, tens time the population of Canada, a population where we are almost equal to the ENTIRE population of South America, it’s ridiculous as to why we need to stuff even more people into it just so the left can feel all fuzzy inside.
End it! We DO NOT NEED immigration at all any longer.
We are a country with 350+ million people. More than enough to get things done!
