50 Years of "Thoughtless" Immigration Policy is Enough: It’s Time for Thoughtful Reform

- We have admitted 59 million immigrants to the country and our population is 72 million people larger than it would have otherwise been.
- Our foreign born population has grown from 9.6 million in 1965 to nearly 45 million today.
- We created endless chains of extended family migration. As a result, the foreign born population is generally less educated, lower skilled, and lower income. More than half of immigrant-headed households rely on some form of welfare.
- Things will only get worse in the coming 50 years. By 2065 our foreign born population is projected to reach 78 million and immigration will be directly responsible for an additional 103 million people in our country. Nearly all of those admitted will arrive without regard to their education and skill levels.
