1.8 Million Immigrants Likely Arrived in 2016, Matching Highest Level in U.S. History
Numbers show 53 percent increase compared to low point in 2011More than one million new immigrants (legal and illegal) settled in the country in the first six months of 2016. This represents a 13 percent increase over the same period in 2015, a 21 percent increase over 2014, and a 53 percent increase over 2011, when new immigration reached a low point after the recession.
The 1.03 million new immigrants who came in the first six months of 2016 is larger than the number of immigrants who came in all of 2011.
Based on past patterns, it seems almost certain that when data becomes available for all of 2016 it will show 1.8 million new immigrants arrived in 2016, matching 1999 — the largest number of new immigration in a single year in American history.1 (See Figure 1.)
The data also shows that 1.6 million new immigrants settled in the country in 2015 — the most in 15 years.2 (See Figure 1.)
The 1.8 million immigrants who likely came in 2016 and the 1.6 million who came in 2015 are a continuation of a dramatic rebound in immigration since 2011. In 2014, 1.5 million came, in 2013 it was 1.3 million, in 2012 it was 1.2 million, and in 2011 1.1 million new immigrants settled in the country.
Sending regions showing the most dramatic increase in new arrivals between 2011 and 2015 are Central America (up 132 percent), South America (up 114 percent), the Caribbean (up 64 percent), and the Middle East and South Asia (both up 52 percent). South Asia includes India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.3 (See Figure 2 and Table 1.)

The dramatic increase in new immigrants settling in the United States in recent years is primarily driven by the nation’s generous legal immigration system for both long-term temporary visa holders (e.g. guestworkers and foreign students) and new permanent residents (green card holders).
There is evidence that the arrival of new illegal immigrants may have also rebounded in the last few years. The number of new, less-educated, younger immigrants arriving each year from Latin America roughly doubled from 2011 to 2016. However, the level remains well below what it was before the recession. (See Figure 4.)
The decision to admit large numbers of unaccompanied minors, as well as minors traveling with adults, likely accounts for some of the increase in new illegal immigration, particularly from Central America.5
I remember that, everyone that had a relative in the US was sending their kids to live with them. There was people making trips and coming back with their relatives kids. The immigrants can bring their family and they weren't in the goy version of the official immigrant stats, dirty accounting trick.
In the Steinlight Piece they had polling that the overwhelming majority of Americans supported a 10 year total halt on immigration but it wasn't good for them and it was decided that under no circumstances should they ever allow this policy. They run alot of opinion polls to stay a step ahead. Now Steinlight's screaming from the mountain tops, halt all immigration and the SPLC doesn't know who he is, it's a disgusting deception. We save their ass in ww2, next thing you know these snakes are working behind the scenes against our will like this. That being said, he was somewhat reasonable compared to whatever Citizens United corporate sponsored shill we probably have now. These god damn corporations and their puppets will destroy the US if we allow them and it's the bottom of the 9th and we're down huge.
All the charts graphs and facts you could possibly want, this is the one and iirc only but certainly the top immigration research center in the US. founded in 1985.

Note; That Dr Pierce video about Dr Steinlight's 26 page immigration paper is from this site and still available and def an interesting read.
