Legal and illegal immigrants will hit a record high of 51 million in just eight years and eventually account for an astounding 82 percent of all population growth in America, according to new U.S. Census figures.
A report from the Center for Immigration Studies that analyzed the statistics said that by 2023, one in seven U.S. residents will be an immigrant, rising to one in five by 2060 when the immigrant population totals 78 million.

But even more, the CIS report said that the surge in mostly legal immigrants will have a huge impact on the nation and taxpayers.
"These numbers have important implications for workers, schools, infrastructure, congestion and the environment," said Steven Camarota, the center's director of research.
"They also may have implications for our ability to successfully assimilate and integrate immigrants.
Yet there has been almost no national debate about bringing in so many people legally each year, which is the primary factor driving these numbers."
