Slowing immigration, particularly illegal immigration, hits NYC's population for obvious reason. Over 1/3rd of NYCers were not born in the USA.
More Foreign-Born Immigrants Live In NYC Than There Are People In Chicago
Over 37 percent of New York City residents were born in another country, according to a new report, the highest percentage in over 100 years. A record high 3.07 million foreign-born immigrants live in New York City, more than any other city in the world.
For perspective: There are more foreign-born New Yorkers than there are people living in America’s third-largest city, Chicago, or roughly the same as the populations of Philadelphia and Phoenix combined.

Immigration is still pumping NYC's population. Opportunity knocks. Foreign born immigrants built this nation. Those that are coming to NYC are proving themselves industrious and hard working, bringing skills and opening businesses. They help make this city great and work to improve it. More than 80 different ethnic groups are represented in this city, and it is reason to celebrate. Many of them are religious conservatives, desirous of law and order, making sacrifices to improve the future of their children. Our churches are having trouble accommodating them, and the same with out libraries. Catholic dioceses which were closing schools as their parishioners matured and their children moved to suburbs are now examining the need for more schools, the same with Yeshivas, and other religious houses of worship. MYC has its liberals and libertines, but it also a growing conservative religious base thanks to immigration.
