immigration Trump census population growth baby boomers.

The U.S. population is projected to grow more slowly over the next 30 years. That’s according to a report Wednesday by the Congressional Budget Office. The projected slowing in growth is due President Donald Trump’s strict immigration policies and an aging population. The country’s total population is projected to stop growing in 2056 and remain roughly the same size as in the previous year. But without immigration, the population would begin to shrink in 2030. Trump has pushed for the largest mass deportation campaign in history. Immigration has fueled U.S. population growth this decade.
