Pew: 88% U.S. growth to come from immigrant families

Immigrant families will account for 88 percent of U.S. population growth in the coming decades, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis.

“If current demographic trends continue, future immigrants and their descendants will be an even bigger source of population growth,” said the newly-released report. “Between 2015 and 2065, they are projected to account for 88 percent of the U.S. population increase, or 103 million people, as the nation grows to 441 million.”
