42.1 Million Foreigners In U.S.

by JASmius



Just a friendly reminder that approximately two out of every fifteen human beings living within our country's (former) borders is a foreign national:

There is a record 42.1 million legal [immigrants] and illegal [alien]s in the United States, according to a new analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau released Thursday.

America's immigration population has surged since the second quarter of 2011, when an additional 4.1 million entered the county both legally and illegally, according to a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).

That number includes the 1.7 million immigrants who entered just in the past year, of which 740,000 are Mexicans. The total Mexican immigration population in the U.S. was 12.1 million as of the second quarter of this year, its highest quarterly total, CIS said.

The immigrant population now totals more than 13.3% of the entire U.S. population — its largest share in 105 years, CIS said of the Census data for the second quarter of 2015.

CIS cites "the significant cutbacks in enforcement in recent years, the permissive nature of the legal immigration system and improvements in the economy" as factors that have contributed to the surge. [emphases added]

And since there have not been any improvements in the permanently moribund Obamaconomy, that leaves the first two factors.

And nowhere will you find the term "unsustainable" anywhere in any discussion of this particular topic.  Aside from this site, of course.

But we do know the ultimate endgame of this process, now don't we....?




At least we have approximately 280 years until U.S. citizens become a minority in their own country.  Looks like The One will have to come up with additional ways to speed up that process....







....won't he?
