According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), S.744, also known as the Gang of Eight Bill, would increase legal immigration into the United States, thus increasing the foreign-born share of the US population to 15% by 2020. This new statistic surpasses the 1890 high of 14.8%. Furthermore, officials predict the foreign-born population will reach 17% of the population (or 65.2 million) in 20 years, by 2033.
