The CIS report estimates that of the 61 million total, three-fourths or 45.3 million, are legal immigrants and their children. The remaining 15.7 million are illegal immigrants and their children. According to CIS, the current ratio of nearly one in five U.S. residents either immigrants or the children of immigrants is “a complete break with the recent history of the United States” “As recently as 1970, there were only 13.5 million immigrants and their young children in the country, accounting for one in 15 U.S. residents,” the report reads, noting that since year 2000 alone, the population of immigrants and their minor children increased by 18.4 million people. Additionally, the report highlights that the immigrant population in the U.S. has grown six times faster in that past 45 year than the total population of the U.S. According to CIS from 1970 to 2015 the immigrant and their children population grew by 353 percent compared to the nation’s 59 percent population growth. The growth has CIS questioning the nation’s ability to absorb the high level of new arrivals. “These numbers raise profound questions that are seldom even asked: What number of immigrants can be assimilated? What is the absorption capacity of our schools, health care system, infrastructure, and labor market? What is the effect on the environment and quality of life from significantly increasing the nation’s population density?” Steven Camarota, CIS’ Director of Research, said Monday in a statement. In his report, Camarota further breaks down the data by state, noting that the growth in population of immigrants and their children since 1970 “as been nothing short of astonishing.” Many of the states he highlighted with high immigrant and their minor children population growth are located in the south — including Georgia, Nevada, North Carolina, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, Oklahoma, Texas and Arizona. “With 45 million legal immigrants and their young children already here, does it make sense to continue admitting more than one million new legal permanent immigrants every year?” Camarota added. Camarota’s state findings included: -In Georgia, this population grew 3,058 percent (from 55,000 to 1.75 million), 25 times faster than the overall state population. -In Nevada, this population grew 3,002 percent (from 26,000 to 821,000), six times faster than the overall state population. -In North Carolina, this population grew 2,937 percent (from 47,000 to 1.43 million), 30 times faster than the overall state population. -In Arkansas, this population grew 1,831 percent (from 12,000 to 228,000), 34 times faster than the overall state population. -In Tennessee, this population grew 1,823 percent (from 28,000 to 537,000), 27 times faster than the overall state population. -In Virginia, this population grew 1,150 percent (from 114,000 to 1.42 million), 15 times faster than the overall state population. -In Oklahoma, this population grew 1,139 percent (from 37,000 to 458,000), 22 times faster than the overall state population. -In Texas, this population grew 1,084 percent (from 582,000 to 6.89 million), 7 times faster than the overall state population. -In Arizona, this population grew 1,019 percent (from 131,000 to 1.46 million), four times faster than the overall state population.
1 in 5 are immigrants. It's far too many. Can't assimilate those numbers. 80% of immigrants vote Democrat, if I'm not mistaken. Time to restrict immigration heavily just to the wealthy and highly educated (>post-grad in the sciences).
That's fine. One of the reasons why Trump success is vital - immigration is at or near a political tipping point in America. There are simply too many immigrants here that vote free shit. We continue this trajectory and its Democratic win after win. We deport them and heavily restrict immigration to the best and brightest, and we can get a Libertarian renaissance. The former will kiss the country goodbye.
I think everyone in D.C. knows we are at that tipping point. The cronies sense they are so close to complete control. Its almost like they have just pushed the pedal to the floor trying to push us over the cliff into a banana company controlled republic. When you have the leadership of the Republican party supporting illegal immigration and trade deals meant to destroy sovereignty tellling us we can't even know what is in important pieces of legislation before they vote on it. It is a sick sick group of traitors in washington d.c. Hiding trade and health care legislation from the public and the media... never thought it could happen in our country. That was communist stuff. But then I did not anticipate a majority of 61 million immigrants and 20 to 30 million illegal immigrants enabling that type of Unamerican behavior by our politicians.
This country imposed a time out on immigration from the late 1920's until the 1960's. As now, the country had absorbed enormous numbers of immigrants, albeit mainly from the familiar European culture, not the latinos, asians and africans we are getting now. The massive influx created a corresponding backlash, which lead to the halt. It took the country four decades to acclimate and digest the newcomers, who, unlike today, were under considerable pressure to assimilate quickly. In retrospect, we can see that the 1965 immigration law authored by Ted Kennedy, which altered criteria to favor those from latin america and africa, was one of the worst ideas in the country's history. As now liberal republicans were supportive, and of course democrats were quick to see the potential for converting poor immigrants to their cause.
That's an excellent point that is often forgot - the unreadable legislation written by lobbyists, even Congress can't read before they vote on it. This Country is so fucked. And Trump is right - America is going to hell. We don't change course 180 and it's civil war time, folks. That's whats gonna happen.
For years, that was America's "primary immigration policy". Now, the policy is just to secure votes for the DemoCraps... regardless of the harm it does to US citizens.
