New US Census data confirms America is undergoing the largest foreign-born ethnic shift in more than a century.Census bureau researchers on Thursday unveiled estimates from their annual American Community Survey. The statistics revealed a record 13.7 percent of nation's 2018 population - nearly 44.7 million people - was born in another country.That's the highest number of foreign-born citizens since 1910. An estimated 22 million of those foreign-born residents said they were 'not a U.S. citizen,' the data showed. The data also revealed where the majority of the non-US born residents had come from: Latin America. About one out of every 20 US residents was foreign born in 1960 and 1970. Today's foreign-born resident rate has surged to about one in seven in California, Texas, Florida, and New York - the nation's largest states - where the foreign born population is 15 percent higher than it is elsewhere in America.It comes as separate research carried out by the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis, Missouri, found that America's white working class is shrinking. By 2034, it will no longer be the largest group in the country, according to the research. The shrinking group marks a shift in attitude which could harm President Trump's support system.Around 66 percent of the Americas who voted for him were considered white working class in 2016. While it's getting smaller, the number of college-educated white people in the country is growing, as is the number of non college-educated non-white people.The Census also reveals the widening gap between the country's rich and poor. The starkest contrast was seen in states including New York, Connecticut, California and Washington, D.C. There is widespread poverty in Puerto Rico and Louisiana, and people generally are becoming wealthier across the country. FEWER AMERICANS HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE THAN IN 2017 In 2018, 8.5 percent of the populationdid not have health insurance, compared with 7.9 percent who did in 2017.The group that was most lacking were foreign born.Nearly a fifth of them (18.9 percent) did not have health insurance.Medicaid is used by 17.3 percent of the country - down from 18 percent in 2017. The number of families bringing home $250,000 a year or more has grown by more than 15 percent. The illuminating figures have emerged in the middle of a heated policy debate over whether a citizenship question should be added to the decennial US Census.The Trump administration proposed enacting the measure in 2018, arguing it was 'necessary for the Department of Justice to protect voters,' the New Yorker reported.The president shifted his strategy in July after the Supreme Court ruled the U.S. Department of Commerce had fa
