\n\n“the U.S. largely owes<\/a> its current population growth to immigrants. About 86 percent<\/a> of U.S. population growth last year was the result of immigration, according to the nonpartisan Brookings Institution. China attracts far fewer newcomers, partially due to its strict<\/a> immigration policy. United Nations data indicate<\/a> that China received just 200,000 immigrants between 2010 and 2020. “The United States, by contrast, added more than 6 million new immigrant residents,” writes<\/a>Washington Post<\/em> columnist Philip Bump. “China’s increase from immigration was about 0.01 percent of its total population; the United States’ was almost 2 percent.””

“the U.S. may be squandering its immigration advantage. Over half of America’s top startups were founded<\/a> by immigrants, but the U.S. has no visa pathway specifically devoted to foreigners who want to start a business and remain in the country. Massive visa backlogs mean that thousands of talented immigrants are caught<\/a> in a decadeslong holding pattern, unable to secure permanent residency. International students are losing<\/a> interest in the U.S. as a destination.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
