A new study shows that the number of immigrants in the United States jumped 3 percent in three years -- to a record 41.3 million in 2013 -- and that the nearly 300,000 who came from Moslem countries pose a major national security threat, the report's co-author told Newsmax on Thursday.
"All of that does raise national security concerns, and I don't think there has been any consideration of that," said Steven Camarota, research director for the Center for Immigration Studies.
The Washington-based nonprofit organization released the study on Thursday. It is based on an analysis of Census data from 2010 to last year. Camarota conducted the study and co-authored it with CIS demographer Karen Zeigler. |
