MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Breitbart News reported most immigrants living in the U.S. since 2010 came from Saudi Arabia, with Saudi immigration up 93 percent. The report by the ACS also reads:
Bangladesh (up 37 percent); Iraq (up 36 percent); Egypt (up 25 percent); Pakistan, India, and Ethiopia (all up 24 percent); Nigeria and Ghana (both up 21 percent)."
Every year, the number of Muslim migrants admitted to the U.S. is more than the total population of Des Moines, Iowa.
According to the report, the U.S. voluntarily imported 280,000 Muslim immigrants to the country each year, including 117,423 with Legal Permanent Status. The number of Muslims working for temporary jobs or settling as foreign students reaches around 122,921 while refugees total 39,932.
Politically, most of immigrants lean more toward Democratic principles, earning the party a large, reliable voting bloc Pew Research stated.
Only 11 percent of Muslim migrants identify themselves as Republican or leaning-Republican.
Politico reported that the Republican party will face another challenge as the Obama administration has reportedly pushed for green card holders to earn voting rights, intensifying their push to get non-Western support for their Western ideals.
Republican presidential candidates have expressed their desires to expand the Muslim immigrant population in light of the migrant crisis.
In fact, GOP presidential candidate and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio introduced his I-Squared bill, which would help increase Muslim immigration. The bill was favored by a number of large businesses including Disney, whose CEO endorsed the bill.
In a single decade, it is expected that Rubio and Chuck Schumer's H1-b plan will add 33 million new immigrants.
The I-Squared bill also met with several criticisms from projections of Americans losing their jobs to immigrants of the same skill and who work for less pay.
