FAIR Responds to Pew Hispanic Center Report - “So-Called’ Decline in Immigration Proves Misleading

Washington, DC-Findings from a new report estimating a recent “so-called’ decline in immigration by the Pew Hispanic Center are inconclusive and misleading, cautions the Federation for American Immigration Reform. While the report indicates overall immigration is lower than it was in the late 1990’s, the nation’s legal and illegal immigration are once again on the rise, observes FAIR.

The decline in legal immigration to the United States in recent years is not an indication that fewer people are arriving in this country. A more accurate estimate should include the millions of additional foreign-born nationals who are waiting for green cards or other legal status, not included in the report’s findings.
