New Trends In American Immigration (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Projecting American immigration numbers into the future is a tricky business. Things change. But the latest big projection by the Pew Research Center is a head-turner. Pew says there are 324 million Americans now. That by 2065, there will be 441 million. That almost 90 percent of that growth will be from immigrants and their kids. And that the biggest pool of those immigrants – 38 percent – will be not Hispanic, but Asian. From that huge arc of countries stretching from Korea to Pakistan. That’s a change. This hour On Point, immigration, Asians, and the country we will become. - Tom Ashbrook
