The Census American Community Survey shows a slowing of people moving to the U.S. While this is economically driven, I wonder what it means about our future? There’s no breakdown between students, entrepreneurs, laborers, etc. so it’s hard to interpret.
Does anyone know if this is happening in Canada, Europe, Australia?
From the AP story:
The wave of immigrants entering the United States slowed dramatically last year as the economy faltered and the government stepped up enforcement of immigration laws.
The nation added about a half-million immigrants in 2007, down from more than 1.8 million the year before, according to estimates being released Tuesday by the Census Bureau.
