Résumé immigration USA

« An article published by the Washington Post in 2019 questioned whether immigration could save the U.S.

birth crisis.

Nonetheless, making a statement about the impact of immigration on this issue remains very difficult. Declining fertility in the United States poses a long-term problem for an aging nation in which more and more citizens depend on Social Security, public health care and a shrinking number of workers to fund them.

But the United States is hardly unique.

According to a Bloomberg website article, America should simply do what it has always done to rejuvenate its population and economy: Open the doors to young, skilled newcomers.

GDP.

In fiscal year 2016, the United States accepted 85,000 refugees from around the world. In 2017, the Trump administration capped that number at 45,000, with the stated logic of saving money.

This number was then lowered in 2019 to 30,000 to reach 18,000 in 2020. The number of immigrants to the U.S.

increased steadily from 1990 to 2008.

After a high of 12.2 million undocumented immigrants in 2007, the totals for 2017 dipped by nearly two million.

We can attribute this decline largely to a decrease in unauthorised Mexican immigrants, with more.... »
