I put this information out here to counter this inaccurate information that I see being paraded all over the internet
Take for instance this chart where he says americans have fallen 833,000 in five years.
Yet Americans had gains of 766,000 in 2024, 573,000 in 2023, 2,933,000 in 2022, 7,508,000 in 2021, and 645,000 in 2020.
While Foreign Born had gains of 1,932,000 in 2024, 3,082,000 in 2023, 3,796,000 in 2022, 6,456,000 in 2021 and 4,708,000 in 2020.
This works out to a score of: 12,425,000 Native Born Americans to 19,974,000 Foreign Born Guest Workers.
If we go back to 2018 as shown in these charts, we get: 19,593,000 Native Born to 29,688,000 Foreign Born.
What would it be if we went back to Jan 2007?
