    Foreign born population nearly triples since 1980

    Foreign born population nearly triples since 1980


    Percentage compares to that at the turn of the 20th century

    A recent study released by the Urban Institute found flows of immigration over the last three decades have nearly tripled the size of the foreign-born population. In 1980 there were 14 million foreign-born people in the U.S., by 2007 there were 38 million. The rate grew the fastest in the 1990s.

    Immigrants continue to be concentrated in six states - California, New York, Texas, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey - but other areas also saw rapid growth including western, midwestern and southeastern states.

    The study, titled Immigration Trends in Metropolitan America, 1980-2007 by Ajay Chaudry, Karina Fortuny, Paul A. Jargowsky, found the share of the population made up of the foreign born also increased from 6 percent in 1980 to 13 percent in 2007 which rivals a period between 1870 to 1930. During that time the U.S. Census Bureau reports the foreign born population fluctuated between 13 and 15 percent due to large-scale immigration from Europe.

    And anyone who objects to immigrants undercutting Americans for jobs is an Ism.
