The New York Times published today an interview with Vice-President JD Vance, where Vance slammed “too much migration too quickly.” Vance told the paper:
I’m trying to preserve something in my own country where we are a unified nation. And I don’t think that can happen if you have too much immigration too quickly.
Commenting on Vance’s remarks, Breitbart News cites studies backing up his claim.
For example, the University of Oxford’s Migration Observatory has found that
[M]ost of the empirical literature on this subject finds that the relationship between diversity and trust is negative – the more diverse a community is, the less likely individuals in it are to be trusting. The trend seems to hold especially strong for the US.
Another report, by the Annual Review of Political Science in 2020, concluded similarly:
The negative relationship between ethnic diversity and social trust applies for all types of trust, but there is substantial variation in strength between types.
In addition, the Pew Research Center has looked into the issue of social trust in the U.S. It found that the declining social trust among Americans coincided with a record level of foreign-born residents residing across the country, increasing the nation’s ethnic diversity.
Breitbart’s John Binder concludes this way:
Today, nearly 52 million foreign-born residents live in the U.S. — a record never seen before in American history.
Annually, the U.S. imports about a million legal immigrants, a historically high figure, and an uncounted number of illegal aliens. It is estimated that about 11 to 22 million illegal aliens reside in the U.S.
Nearly all U.S. population growth today is driven by immigration, legal and illegal. With an immigration moratorium, the nation’s population would stabilize.
