Immigration to drive future US population growth

12% of the 300 million people in the United States today are foreign-born. A new study by the Pew Research Center estimates that 82% of U.S. population growth in the next 40 years will be from immigrants and their descendants. This would result in one of five people being immigrants by 2050, when the total U.S. population will reach a projected 438 million.
