Immigration in an Aging Society: Workers, Birth Rates, and Social Security
Camarota, Steven A.
Center for Immigration Studies, Backgrounder, April 2005, 20p.
"It has become common in public discussion to assert that immigration can reverse the aging trends in American society and infuse the Social Security system with new revenue.

Camarota is the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies.
