We Have Never Been Here Before

The PowerPoint below was presented at a recent public gathering in New York City. The primary purpose of the presentation was to provide an overview of the socio-demographics of contemporary U.S. immigration. Among other things, the presentation shows that the foreign-born or immigrant population (legal and illegal together) are at record highs in American history, both numerically and as a share of the U.S. population. Further, the slides show that the scale of immigration during the four years of the Biden administration was truly unprecedented. The first part of the presentation consists of the slides presented in New York. There are also a series of slides at the end of the PowerPoint for those readers who would like additional information.
