It's too complex of an issue to answer with a one or two word reply. Each "threat" has different implications.

The biggest threat is legal and illegal immigration to America from groups of people who have few skills and a limited education. This was fine 100 years ago but now we need the best and brightest to come to America in reasonable numbers.

China (and other asian countries) - they have a history of dumping underpriced goods into our economy, which undercuts local industries.
