With the U.S. birth and death rate growing nearly even, the U.S. Census Bureau has revealed the shocking truth about who is supplying Americas new growth -- legal and illegal immigrants.

An analysis of Census figures found that 80%-90% of the countrys new population growth comes from migrants.

The new numbers reviewed by the Center for Immigration Studies showed the U.S. population last year at 333 million, up 1.2 million from 2021.

Census found that migration contributed a bit over 1 million to the U.S. population growth, or 80% of 1.2 million.

But in its review, CIS said the raw data does not account for all of the immigration trends impacting the country, from illegal crossings to exact numbers of newborns by new migrants in the U.S.

Whats more, CIS said that counting immigration growth is not an exact science and that Census undercounts, especially as the border crisis grows.

In our view, the bureaus methodology for estimating net migration, which relies heavily on administrative data, is not able to fully capture a sudden and dramatic increase in illegal immigration of the kind the country began experiencing starting in 2021, said the new report.

The enormous scale of the border crisis and resulting illegal immigration as well as growth in the foreign-born population in the monthly Current Population Survey indicate that net migration is significantly higher than the 1.01 million estimated by the Census Bureau for 2022. If we are correct, then the U.S. population grew by significantly more than the bureau estimated and net international migration accounted for upwards of 90% of the increase in the last year, said the report.
