Today: about 1 million legal immigrants each year - perhaps twice as many undocumented. Settlement to different regions - used to be mostly big cities and farms (but changed!) California as the harbinger of the future - whites are now the numerical minority, enormous diversity. More than 1/4 (almost 1/3) of total us population now non-white . Immigration now is a large share of us population growth. Increases danger: means illegal crosses tend to stay in us. Many jobs that immigrants work are jobs that many americans do not want. Fake social security cards means they pay taxes but do not benefit from them!
