US immigration is near its 100-year historic peak [1], and takes the largest share of international migrants [2]. If that's "very little", then what would merely "moderate" immigration look like?

Your first link notes a slowing down of immigration to US 2017-2020. I wonder why? Your second link is claiming data from the US as having the most foreign born residents.. From 2006.

A small slowing down, that still left immigration higher than at almost any other point in US history.

Your second sentence directly refutes your first - US immigration is at a historic peak in both absolute and relative (compared to US population) terms.

> Our population is aging..

That's an argument that immigration is necessary, not that it's "very little".

The entire healthcare system in US is a legalized fraud.

The number 1 reason why older Americans immigrate to Thailand, Vietnam and other low COL countries is to get access to services at a reasonable price AND to not have to deal with the fraudulent system that nickels and dimes them to bankruptcy.
