About two-thirds of Americans say immigrants strengthen the country through their contributions, so A is true. Projections put the U.S. immigrant population at nearly 80 million by 2065, making D true. They also project that people of Asian origin will become the largest immigrant group by 2055, so E is true; the projection is not that Latin American immigration will outpace Asian immigration.
