4 Decades of Replacement
As of 2024, the United States is home to roughly 50 million foreign-born legal citizens, or 15% of the total population. Their children, second generation Americans, number over 20 million. Combined, their numbers comprise 30% of the current US population.
The official number of illegal immigrants living in the US sits at 14 million, but unofficial estimates triple that number, or 42 million. Roughly 300,000 babies are born annually to illegal immigrant families each year, or 9% of total annual US births.
Over the past 4 decades, the US has accepted 3.5 million refugees from various Third World nations. Refugee status allows them to also sponsor family members for resettlement.
Each year, the US issues roughly 600,000 immigrant visas via consulates and embassies overseas, as a path to permanent residency in the US. Overall, 1.4 million immigrants become “lawful permanent residents” in the United States. Over the past four decades, 38 million people have acquired permanent residency in the US. Of these 38 million, 24 million more of their family members have been sponsored and resettled here. Roughly 80% of all green cards are issued to immigrants from the Third World.
25 million have achieved full US citizenship over the past 40 years, and have sponsored 25 million family members.
The birthrate among naturalized us citizens sits at 2.19, compared to 1.73 among native-born citizens.
According to Grok, 88% of net job growth has gone to foreign-born workers in the United States over the past five years.
