migrant population, a new study finds.

Will Not Fund Our Retirement - By Spencer P. Morrison
In fact, Immigration will bleed it dry.

The Pew
Research Center reveals in
a new study that the U.S. has admitted more foreign nationals than any other
country in the world. Roughly 18 percent of the world’s migrant population
lives in the U.S., the study found.
About 44.5 million foreign-born residents
now live in the
U.S., far surpassing Germany’s 12.2 million foreign-born population and
Russia’s nearly 12 million foreign-born population.

In total,
the U.S. is home to more foreign-born residents than Germany, Russia, the
United Kingdom, and France combined. The 44.5 million foreign-born population
living in the country marks a nearly 108-year record high of immigration
to the U.S.
That 44.5
million includes roughly 22 million naturalized citizens, 11 million other
residents — including more than 1.5 million foreign temporary visa-workers —
plus about 11 million illegal aliens.
The last
time the U.S. foreign-born population was this high was in 1910 when immigrants
made up 14.7 percent of the total country’s population.
Mass immigration has come at the expense of America’s
working and middle class, which has suffered from poor job growth,
stagnant wages, and
increased public costs to
offset the importation of
millions of low-skilled foreign nationals.
Four million young Americans enter the workforce every
year, but their job opportunities are further diminished as the U.S. imports
roughly two new foreign workers for every four American workers who enter the
workforce. Even though researchers say 30 percent of the workforce
could lose their
jobs due to automation by 2030, the U.S. has not stopped importing more than a
million foreign nationals every year.
For blue-collar American workers, mass immigration has
not only kept wages down but in many cases decreased wages, as Breitbart
News reported.
Meanwhile, the U.S. continues importing more foreign nationals with whom
working-class Americans are forced to
compete.
