Everyone doesn't just die a year after they immigrate; the immigrants dying now are baby boomers or older, when immigration was comparatively rare. The overall share probably won't plummet till 2050 or so.

If anything the share will likely increase in the coming years as the largely native boomers die off even if immigration rates fall farther.
