US' foreign-born, immigrant populations reach record highs: report

U.S. government data shows that the number and share of the population that is foreign-born or are immigrants reached record highs in January, a report says.
"Unlike border statistics, the CPS measures the number of immigrants in the country, which is what actually determines their impact on society. Without adjusting for those missed by the survey, we estimate illegal immigrants accounted for 5.4 million or two-thirds of the 8.3 million growth in the foreign-born population since President Biden took office in January 2021," the CIS said. Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"The enormous scale of legal and illegal immigration has profound implications for a host of issue areas from schools and public coffers to the labor force and housing markets," it added. "Perhaps the most fundamental questions these numbers raise is whether the United States can successfully integrate and assimilate all the immigrants already here, let alone continue to welcome additional newcomers each year."
