社评 0411 休斯敦人口激增







休斯敦人口激增


根据大休斯敦商会发表之最新统计,过去六年来休斯敦在所有大都会之人口增长中名列全国第二名。 自2021 年七月至2022 年七月止,包括大休斯敦市在内的九个郡区人口增加了十二万五千人, 截至目前共有人口七百三十四万人 。


大商会统计数字显示, 三分之二的增长人口来自之新居民有大部份是出生国外之移民,这些国际新移民是新增人口之主要部份 。


我们要非常慎重地指出, 美国是个移民国家 ,今天我们之所以能够维持经济之成长,大部分应该归功於不断来自世界之新移民及千千万万的留美学生。 他们是一股经济上之力量, 在许多学有所成者都留下来為美国作出毕生之贡献。


今天全国瀰漫着一股反华亚裔及移民之暗潮,一切右翼及生意人在操弄政治舆论、一味反华及其他族裔, 造成人心惶惶, 许多人都放弃了移民美国之热情和动力 。

如今全国正面临未可解决意料之未来, 我们要奉劝拜登总统必须认清真相, 继续欢迎来自世界各地之移民, 也是休斯敦继续繁荣之基础。



Greater Houston Area Population Surges


According to the latest statistics released by the Greater Houston Partnership, the Houston area ranks second in the country in population growth among all U.S. metropolitan areas over the past six years.


From July 2021 to July 2022, the average population in nine cities including Houston has increased by 125,000 up to the current total population of 7.34 million. 


The study showed that two-thirds of the population growth comes from new residents, most of whom are immigrants born abroad. These newcomers make up the main core of our new residents. 


We should point out that the United States is a country of immigrants.

Most of the factors we can relate to and understand. Economic growth today is due to the continuous influx of new immigrants from all over the world. At the same time, foreign students keep coming to America to study and most of them stay here after they finish their degree.


Today we have a dark tide of anti-Chinese Asian and immigrant  racism in our country. Many right- wing politicians are manipulating political and public opinion causing many people to panic. 


Now the country is facing many challenges on how to encourage  and keep newcomers coming to our land. We really want to suggest to  President Biden to carefully review our immigration policy because it is  directly related to our future prosperity.
