Last year, Obama let 300,000 Muslim immigrants into the USA. Security concerns develop.

Over the last three years the number of immigrants in the United States has jumped by 3%, a new study from the Center for Immigration Studies reveals.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - In 2013 there were a record high of 41.3 million immigrants in the U.S., and nearly 300,000 of them came from Muslim countries, and quite possibly could pose a major security threat to America.

"All of that does raise national security concerns, and I don't think there has been any consideration of that," said Steven Camarota, the center's research director and co-author of the study.

The Washington D.C. nonprofit based the study on an analysis of Census data from 2010 to 2013.

"The primary threat from a group like ISIS to the homeland is through our immigration system," Camarota said.

"No one's suggesting that they're going to launch a missile and hit New York, but rather they're going to board an airliner and blow it up," he added. "They're going to park a car in a public place, they're going to go on a shooting spree, or any one of those things.

"Our immigration system is a vital part of national security. Everybody doesn't seem to recognize that," Camarota said. "The question is, what are the implications of our rapidly growing Middle Eastern population? The numbers certainly raise it."

The U.S. is home to 41.3 million immigrants, both illegal and legal, up from 39.9 million in 2010. Back in 2000, the number of immigrants was at just 31.1 million.

Roughly 16% of the U.S. population is born in a foreign country.

"Those numbers reflect two basic facts: an extremely high level of legal immigration, a very permissive legal immigration system - and they also reflect a failure to control illegal immigration," Camarota said.

"Somewhere between a fourth and a third of those immigrants are here illegally."

According to this study, the amount of Middle Eastern immigrants grew to 1.8 million last year, up 13% from the 1.6 million that were here in 2010.
