And remember, it is LEGAL IMMIGRATION that is primarily responsible fortransforming this country. We bring in 1.1 million LEGAL PERMANENT IMMIGRANTS
ANNUALY, close to 90% of whom are minorities as defined by the USG. Since 1990, over 40 million LEGAL immigrants have entered this country.
Since the Immigration Act of 1965, immigration has transformed this country racially and ethnically. In 1970 non-Hispanic whites were 89% of the population. Today, they are 63%. And by 2043 they will be 50%. Illegal immigrtion just hastens the process.
