Immigrant Population Growth Slows: ‘Trump Effect’ likely explains slowdown ([link removed])
By Steven A. Camarota and Karen Zeigler, October 22, 2020

Excerpt: In the first two years of the Trump administration (2017 to 2019), growth in the immigrant population (legal and illegal) averaged only about 200,000 a year, in contrast to 650,000 a year from 2010 to 2017. The data released so far indicates that net migration among immigrants — the difference between the number of immigrants coming vs. those leaving — averaged 525,000 a year between 2017 and 2019, compared to about 953,000 a year between 2010 and 2017.
