Trump immigration policies, aging population slow US growth projection: CBO

The US population is projected to grow by 15 million in 30 years, a smaller estimate than in previous years, due to President Donald Trump's hard-line immigration policies and an aging population, the Congressional Budget Office has said. The nonpartisan budget office projected that US population will be 364 million in 30 years, 2.2 per cent smaller than it had predicted at this time a year ago. In September, the office issued a revised demographics report that showed Trump's plans for mass deportations and other strict immigration measures would result in roughly 320,000 people removed from the United States over the next 10 years. The country's total population is projected to stop growing in 2056 and remain roughly the same size as in the previous year, the CBO said.

Allowing skilled immigrants to train US workers 'is MAGA', says Trump

President Donald Trump has made hardline immigration policies a signature issue, but acknowledged on Wednesday that he's been criticised for recently saying some skilled immigrants should be allowed into the country from his Make America Great Again supporters. Trump told an audience of business executives that the US needs immigrants who can train domestic workers in high-tech factories and insisted that doing so is not inconsistent with his core political beliefs. I love my conservative friends. I love MAGA. But this is MAGA, Trump said during an address to the US-Saudi Investment Forum, which he attended with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
