Updated U.S. Immigration Trends

How many green cards are issued in the United States each year? How many immigrants become citizens? Where do they come from? What share of the population at the state and national level are foreign born?

Answers to these questions and more, currently and historically, are provided in our newly updated U.S. Immigration Trends data tools.

Maps of Refugees and Asylum Seekers Worldwide

Trying to make sense of the record levels of displacement worldwide? Our demographers recently updated the Migration Data Hub tool showing humanitarian migrant populations by country of origin and destination over time. Combining more than two decades of data about asylum seekers, refugees, and others, the tool Refugee and Asylum Seeker Populations by Country of Origin and Destination vividly depicts the growth in global displacement.

Visualizing the Historic Diversification at the U.S.-Mexico Border

For the first time ever, most migrants arriving irregularly at or between U.S. ports of entry in fiscal year (FY) 2023 were from countries other than Mexico, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. The 51 percent of migrant encounters from somewhere other than these four countries is a dramatic surge from just three years ago, when they comprised only 12 percent of irregular arrivals.

In the new commentary, Shifting Patterns and Policies Reshape Migration to U.S.-Mexico Border in Major Ways in 2023, Associate Policy Analyst Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh and Senior Policy Analyst Ariel G. Ruiz Soto explain how new arrivals are also disproportionately likely to come to a border post after scheduling an appointment using the CBP One app.

How Immigrant-Origin Students Are Preventing Steeper College Enrollment Decline

U.S. college enrollment would be plummeting if not for immigrants and children of immigrants. These immigrant-origin students, who numbered about 6.1 million as of 2021, are helping to offset the rapid decline of college enrollment among students whose families have been in the United States for multiple generations.

Senior Policy Analyst Jeanne Batalova and Senior Fellow Michael Fix examine trends in college enrollment in the new policy brief Shared Gains: Immigrant-Origin Students in U.S. Colleges.
