“Americans” can't be made a political minority through immigration, because naturalized immigrants and, a fortiori, their descendants are Americans (and are as much Americans as descendants of 18th C and earlier British and other European migrants.)
White Americans might become a political minority, but I don't see any reason anyone but racists would think that, in and of itself, is a bad (or good, for a different stripe of racist) thing.

I'm not sure what you mean by “foreign majority”, but whatever you mean by it:
(1) it obviously includes a significant share of the Baby Boomers, and
(2) in 2040, there will be precious few Baby Boomers for any group to appropriate assets from, and
(3) I don't see any non-paranoid reason to believe this would happen, no matter what group you identify as the “foreign majority”.
