  • The Foreign-Born Population and Its Effects on the U.S. Economy and the Federal Budget—An Overview January 2020
    The Foreign-Born Population and Its Effects on the U.S. Economy and Congressional Budget Office Nonpartisan Analysis for the U.S. Congress the Federal Budget—An Overview January 2020 The Foreign-Born Population About 47 million people living in the United States in 2018 were born in other countries. Roughly three-quarters of those people were here legally. They included naturalized citizens, lawful permanent residents (who are also known as green-card holders), refugees, people who were granted asylum, and people who were temporarily admitted for a specific purpose, such as extended work or study. (The people accounted for in this document do not include visitors for business or pleasure.) The remaining one-quarter, or about 11 million people, were here illegally, having either remained here when their temporary legal status expired or crossed the border illegally. For more than a decade, the number of people remaining when their temporary status expired has exceeded the number crossing the border illegally, mostly because the number of illegal border crossings has declined. The U.S. Population, by Birthplace Foreign-Born People, by Birthplace, 2018 Millions of People Millions of People 350 Roughly equal numbers of foreign-born people in the United States hailed from Mexico and Central America, Asia, and the rest of the world. 300 Native-Born 16.5 250 16.0 Canada Central 14.3 Africa 200 America South America 150 Rest of Asia 100 Europe 14% Mexico 50 10% India, China, Foreign-Born Philippines Other 0 1998 2003 2008 2013 2018 The Age Distribution of Native-Born and Foreign-Born People, 2018 Percent The share of the population that was Native-Born Foreign-Born 25 to 54 years old — the group with the highest rate of labor force participation — 60 was larger for foreign-born people than for native-born people.

  • REPORT of the CITY of DUBAI the City of Dubai Prides Itself on Being
    Packer Collegiate Institute Brooklyn, New York Cities at the Vanguard: Migration and the Metropolis 3.14.19 REPORT OF THE CITY OF DUBAI The city of Dubai prides itself on being a city of immigrants. As of the 2016 census, there were 200 different nationalities living and working in Dubai and foreign-born migrants made up 85% of the population. Immigrants contribute much of the needed labor to the workforce and constitute 95% of the private sectors. Indeed, it is because of the work of immigrants that Dubai grew into the modern, beautiful city it is today. Accordingly, the city and its people welcome immigrants and work to promote a peaceful coexistence and harmony in society. COMMITTEE ON LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE Migrants are not permitted to be involved in any capacity when it comes to politics. The politics and opinions of the United Arab Emirates are reserved to the great Emirati people. No foreign ideas can permeate those of true Emirati citizens. Every Emirati citizen gets to live and voice their opinions as they like. Migrants are not Emirati citizens and therefore are entirely removed from all forms of government. We are one of the seven constituent monarchies in the UAE. The leader of Dubai is also the prime minister of the UAE. Thus, there is a lot of communication between the Dubai government and the federal government. Because a lot of migrant workers are entering through the Kafala system, the city and the state are fairly in agreement on that system. Thus, it is the city’s job to uphold those values and communicate with the federal government.
