New Census finds 22.1million non-citizens and almost 45MILLION foreign-born residents living in the U.S. - the highest number in more than a century
2019-09-27
[DailyMail]
  • The U.S. Census Bureau released estimates from its annual American Community Survey on Thursday

  • Researchers found a record 13.7 percent of the 2018 U.S. population - about 44.7 million people - were born in another country

  • That’s the most foreign-born American residents counted in one year since 1910

  • About 22 million of those foreign born residents were 'not a U.S. citizen'

  • The census figures have emerged during a highly-charged debate over whether America's decennial Census survey should include a citizenship question

#16  There are, certain, similarities between the current situation and the peculiar institution - n'est-ce pas?

#15  Productivity? Who cares about that?

The Business Roundtable/Koch Bros. GOP greedheads get higher profit margins.

The Identity Politics Left gets to preen and bask in virtue signaling.

The US Catholic Church gets to replenish its pews and parishes with a docile new set of millions of parishioners.

The Dems get a lock on the votes of the fastest-growing and in many huge states such as CA, soon to be majority demographic.

Win-Win-Win-Win.

Never mind that native-born Americans of all ethnicities lose. F 'em, right?

#14  and economic suicide.

Any economy that imports workers on less than average wage is harming it's productivity.

#13  Slow motion cultural suicide is well underway.

#12  The model has flipped: it used to be heavily weighted toward Europe, including an usually high percentage of Irish immigrants plus Russian and Soviet Jewish refuseniki, but now us heavily weighted toward Mexico and Central America.

Mexico provides close to a third of the total and slightly over half of the illegals.

Central American countries provide another 10+ percent of the total and another quarter of the illegals.

The remaining legal immigrants are weighted toward the Caribbean and Asia, who together make up maybe a quarter of the total legal immigrant population.

The remaining quarter of legal immigrants come from Rest of World i.e. small percentages from 50+ nations across South America, Africa, Middle East and Europe.

#10  Glad you're counting Lex.
I can't keep up.

New York City bans calling someone an ‘illegal alien’ out of hate

#9  I would like to see a rundown of how much which countries contribute to these numbers. The idea of a foreigner was not a big deal to me growing up, as my mom and aunt were Canadian (not even naturalized until I was in middle school), but I know that most of the immigrants nowadays come from third world hellholes rather than places that are relatively similar and English speaking.

Similarly, if there was evidence that these people were blending in and adopting American culture, I wouldn't care so much. As it is, it is a very big deal to me because they are trying to morph this country into the same hellish little nightmare that they came from (especially those from the Middle East and Latin America).

#8  About 22 million of those foreign born residents were 'not a U.S. citizen'

Add in another 20+ million illegal aliens.

#7  ^ Yep

#6  About 22 million of those foreign born residents were 'not a U.S. citizen'

More support for the Yale-MIT sociologists' conclusion that the real number of illegals in this country is probably >20 million.

Shitshow, Part 103.

#5  BBC: it takes around 3.5% of the population actively participating in the protests to ensure serious political change.

#4  And that's why Democrats like the idea of popular vote so much?

Also why they become mouth foaming at the suggestion of govt-issued ID screening for voters.

#3  Makes one wonder how many elections are legitimately won by the Dems. The Dems agenda only offers riots in the streets, anger, lies, no jobs, poverty, division, corruption, higher taxes, and the destruction of American.

#2  ...more than they could normally get away with by simply stuffing the ballot box with 'harvested' and manufactured votes.
