> Your first link notes a slowing down of immigration to US 2017-2020.

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

> US immigration is, like many things, at a historic peak because population size is at a historic peak. Percentage-wise, foreign born immigrants make of a record high proportion of the US population

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".
