85% of us were born here.

when I immigrated in 1971, 10% of the US population were immigrants..
Is it 15% now ???
It is about 14% now and increasing. In 1970 one in 21 was foreign born; today, it is less than one in 8, the highest in 105 years; and within a decade it will be one in seven, the highest in our history.
