The US now has 53.3 million foreign-born residents, making up 15.8% of the population, surpassing the 1890 record of 14.8%. The rise fuels debates on border control, labour, and economic impact.

The Center for Immigration Studies links the most recent growth to illegal immigration. Foreign-born workers often take low-wage jobs, affecting US-born wages. Trump plans stricter immigration policies and mass deportations.

The Migration Policy Institute says immigration drives population growth and supports the economy. Without high immigration, the Census Bureau warns of future population decline. Historically, high immigration led to restrictions like the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.

New Zealand has introduced stricter health screening for dependent children of temporary visa holders. Kids with severe cognitive or developmental disabilities needing high support can no longer get a student or visitor visas.

The change aligns health rules for temporary visas with residency requirements. Authorities say it prevents strain on healthcare and education. Families with children needing extensive care will face new challenges.

The policy is part of a broader immigration strategy to balance economic migration with public resources. Officials aim to attract skilled migrants while ensuring sustainability. The move creates a more predictable and consistent immigration system.

A report by Poland's National Development Bank (BGK) finds that Ukrainian immigrants contribute more in taxes than they receive in benefits. Ukrainians pay about 15.1 billion zloty in taxes and social insurance while receiving 2.8 billion zloty from child benefits.

They also add 0.5% to 2.4% to Poland's annual GDP growth. The report dismisses claims that Ukrainians drive up real estate prices. However, many work below their skill level.

Poland needs two million immigrant workers in the next decade. Amid Poland's presidential campaign, some candidates push anti-migrant narratives despite the report confirming a positive economic impact.
