Foreign born population has been growing very fast and "it could break a 125- year old record within the next decade." This information is from the Pew Research Center research that was finalized today. 13.7% of people living in the U.S. were born out of the country in 2015 and this number is projected to reach 14.9% by 2025. The previous highest was in 1890 with 4.8%. This is a "problem" talked about a lot with the presidential candidates, most are for adding more security to the borders and limiting immigration. It will be interesting to see what the country does under this circumstance and how they use these new numbers to make their points.
