In a major shift in immigration patterns over the next 50 years, Asians will have surged past Hispanics to become the largest group of immigrants heading to the United States, according to estimates in a new immigration study.

The study looks in detail at what will happen by 2065, but the actual tipping point comes in 2055.

An increase in Asian and Hispanic immigration also will drive U.S. population growth, with foreign-born residents expected to make up 18 percent of the country’s projected 441 million people in 50 years, the Pew Research Center said in a report being released Monday. This will be a record, higher than the nearly 15 percent during the late 19^th century and early 20^th century wave of immigration from Europe.

Today, immigrants make up 14 percent of the population, an increase from 5 percent in 1965. …

do they mean real "Asians" or do they mean the British type....from the middle east?

if its the real Asians, then welcome aboard....

[Cowboy Bob]

I wonder what impact the collapse of the Chinese economy will have on Asian immigration?

If their economy collapses, they won't be filling our universities, or buying property in California...at least not on the current scale.

Why do people always take a trend and stretch it out for 50-100 years? Nothing always goes in a straight line.

[re_nortex]

Be careful of what you wish for.

They're almost as bad as blacks. See the full details on this FR thread: Why Asian Americans Voted So Overwhelmingly For Obama. Thankfully I'll be dead by the time the wetbacks and orientals (yep, I'm not one bit PC) get control of the Republic.

[Olog-hai]

I think they mean communists from China, Vietnam et al. Not a good idea to welcome those ones aboard.

The British press uses “Asians” as their own cover-up epithet for Pakistani Muslims.

BTW, the word “Asia” in the New Testament referred to Asia Minor (or Anatolia) in Turkey, not the continent as understood today.

[DoughtyOne]

Immigration of any kind, needs to stop for 20-30 years.

Assimilate, then move on.

[lee martell]

This new study is already obsolete, because they haven’t factored in the 16 tons of Syrian Muslims your president plans to dump on us from coast to coast.

[entropy12]

Asia extends from Turkey on to middle-east, India sub-continent, Se Asia, China, Japan, parts of Russia.

[AAABEST]

What trend in the modern (ene)media is to lump all Asians into one demographic. Hence, we have these Asians Who simply want to work, raise their families and be left alone...

...confused with these Asians, who are incapable of fitting in anywhere but the shithole societies from whence the emerge:

Often, the (ene)media refer to the latter as "refugees," despite the vast majority being well fed males of military age.

I’m 47. I figure I’ll be about retirement age when they take over through sheer numbers.

I dont know why Asians think they have some sort of alliance with blacks..

Blacks eat them for breakfast robbing them, beating them, killing them when they cross paths. Like that delivery guy last year.

Foolish people.

Need to lower that white percentage to 30.

Here in NJ we also have a LOT of Asians from the subcontinent; NJ will be one of the first states to be completely Asian/Hispanic.

"Why do people always take a trend and stretch it out for 50-100 years"

Some people get paid to do that, demographers and staticians.

There are about 7 billion on earth now, and the projections show that will grow to 11 billion by 2100 then level off.

There are 4 billion in Asia, 1 billion in Africa, 1 billion in Europe/Russia, and 1 billion in the Americas.

By 2050, Asia will add a fifth billion and Africa will add a second billion for a 9 billion total.

By 2100, Africa will add a 3rd and 4th billion for a total of 11 billion.

Its simply a matter measuring birth/fertility rates and projecting that out as the population "fills up".

Generally Asians assimilate into US society. Who cares from whence they come as long as they become genuine Americans prepared to risk their life, blood and treasure to support and defend the Constitution....something the majority of non- assimilating Muslims will NOT do.

[BobL]

The Republicans never bothered trying to learn Spanish (other than some losers like Jeb), so that they could get some votes.

Hopefully now they take Asian lessons so that they can at least learn the Asian language (as they see it, no doubt), before Asians become the dominant group here.

[BuffaloJack]

Does Asian refer to moslems or does it refer to industrious, hard working Orientals who educate themselves and their children and benefit themselves and their neighbors and contribute to the economy by bringing up the standard of living.

[Twinkie]

Or THEY can learn ENGLISH.

When I invade THEM, I’ll learn their language.

[Olog-hai]

The only time “Asian” refers to Muslims is in the British press referring to Pakistanis. It’s contextual.

[Lady Heron]

do they mean real "Asians" or do they mean the British type....from the middle east?

Bingo!

[Resolute Conservative]

Thank God I will be gone by then, I pity our children.
