US Immigrant Population To Swell

in: Uncategorized

The Pew Research Center
has projected that, if current trends continue, the US population will
rise to 438 million in 2050 from 296 million in 2005. Immigrants and
their US-born descendants were projected to account for 82% of the
population increase.

Nearly one in five Americans will be an immigrant in 2050, compared with one in eight who were immigrants in 2005.

The Pew Research Center said that by 2025, the foreign-born share of
the population would pass the record levels set during the last great
wave of immigration a century ago.

Pew projected that the US Latino population would triple by 2050, accounting for 29% of the US, compared with 14% in 2005.

The non-Latino white population was projected to become a minority (47%) by 2050.
