Asians will take over from Hispanics as the largest American Foreign Born Group by 2055

Pew Research Center Study - U.S. to have no racial or ethnic majority group by 2055.

   Immigration is going to account for 88% of U.S. population growth over next 50 years. And, Asian immigrants and their children will account for the majority of U.S. population growth over the next 50 years, according to Pew Research Center. The projections account for both legal and illegal immigration and are based on analysis of government data from the U.S. Census and the American Community Survey.
   Asians are the only group whose numbers are rising because of immigration. Migration from Latin America, particularly Mexico, has slowed. Meanwhile, Chinese and Indian immigration has been steadily rising. From amongst Indian and Chinese students many remain in the country on temporary work visas after graduation and eventually apply for legal permanent residency. They can apply for U.S. citiizenship five years after obtaining a green card. Mexican arrivals are the lowest in five decades as a share of all immigrant arrivals, or 15% in 2013 mostly because of lower birth rate in Mexico reducing pressure on heads of households and other family members to seek higher-paying jobs in the U.S., relative stability of the Mexican economy, and the perils of making the journey.

"... Between 2015 and 2065, the U.S. population is expected to increase 36% to 441 million. Immigrants and their offspring will make up 88% of that increase, or 103 million people, according to the new research. ..."
"... The Hispanic share of the immigrant population, 47% in 2015, will drop to 31% by 2065. Asians will rise to 38% of the total, compared with about one-quarter today, the study estimated.
Bolstered by Asian arrivals, the U.S. is on course to have no racial or ethnic majority group by 2055. That year, the country is expected to be 46% white and 24% Hispanic, with Asians representing 14% of the population—surpassing blacks, who will account for 13%. Today, the U.S. is 62% white and 18% Hispanic. “With the U.S. population becoming more diverse, this has the potential to reshape American politics,” Mr. Lopez said.
In the 1970s, newcomers mainly hailed from Europe. Spurred by record Mexican immigration, Latin America was the main region of origin from 1990 until recently. But since 2011, Asia has emerged as the largest source of immigrants. Nearly two-thirds of Asians in the U.S. today are foreign-born, compared with 37% of Hispanics. ..."
