NewsWithViews.com | Each year, America accepts 1.3 million legal immigrants. On top of that, immigrants birth 900,000 babies within the United States annually. When you add the minimum of 800,000 illegal alien migrants that walk over our borders or visa overstays, the United States absorbs 3.1 million immigrants, give or take a few thousand—annually.
