Pew: Nearly 20% of world's migrant population lives in the US

A new study by Pew Research reveals that 18% of migrants in the world live in the U.S. This is an astonishing number, given the grief the U.S. gets from nations around the world - and the left in this country - for not doing enough to solve the migrant crisis.

Overall, 44.5 million people in the U.S. is foreign born - the highest percentage since 1910.

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.

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.

If you listen to mass immigration advocates around the world, you'd think the U.S. wasn't doing its fair share to address the migrant crisis.
