#PSA Important #statistics to remember for #USPol #Immigration discussion...

Between 12% and 14% of the #US #population is #noncitizens, which includes #Visa Holders, Legal Permenant Residents without #Citizenship, and #Undocumented / #UnauthorizedImmigrants / #IllegalImmigrants.

Only 3% to 4% of the #USpopulation is estimated to be here illegally. That means, even if every last one was #deported, it would at most be only a 3% or 4% reduction of people in the housing and job markets.

It would also mean a massive expansion of the ICE budget, as it was streamlined by every other administration going back to Reagan: any significant increase over Obama and Biden's massive #deportation numbers will have an increasing cost.

Remember that these people also pay #taxes, but do not receive ANY government funding, meaning it would be entirely a loss of government funds with very little saved.

Important to remember if anyone claims this will help the economy: that is #misinformation.

“A truth can only have an impact when the recipient is mature enough for it.”

Yet another "clutching-pearls" thing for the right wingers to whine about: Last month, the Census Bureau released new data for geographic areas which provide a glimpse of how the nation’s population has been changing over the first third of the 2020s decade. It emphasizes that people of color are the main drivers of population growth for the nation as well as shifts across states, metropolitan areas and counties. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/census-shows-americas-post-2020-population-is-driven-by-diversity-especially-among-the-young/
