New Report Takes Detailed Look at Impact of Different Levels of Admissions

WASHINGTON (August 2007) — New projections from the Center for Immigration Studies show that the current level of immigration (legal and illegal) will add more than 100 million people to the nation’s population by 2060. The report also shows that immigration has only a small impact on slowing the aging of American society.

While population growth has not been at the center of the immigration debate, polls show the public is deeply concerned about issues related to population size, including congestion, sprawl, preservation of open spaces, and greenhouse gas emissions.

The report, entitled, ‘100 Million More: Projecting the Impact of Immigration on the US Population, 2007 to 2060,’ is embargoed until its release on Thursday, August 30, at 9:30 a.m. The study will be available online at that time at www.cis.org; advance copies are available to the media. The panel discussion marking the release of the report is free and open to the public.
