According to a New York Times report, total immigration to the United States, if it’s not slashed, is projected to grow the country’s foreign-born proportion of the population to records that were only witnessed during the Gilded Age.

John Binder of Breitbart News reported that “In 1890, the foreign-born share of the U.S. population stood at a record 14.8 percent.”

Per the Times, America’s present legal and illegal immigration levels — with  over 1.5 million legal immigrants and hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens arriving annually — are projected to mirror and potentially exceed the 1890 record high.
