U.S. Immigrant Population Hits All-Time High
Posted By Washington Free Beacon Staff On September 25, 2014 @ 11:33 am In Uncategorized | No Comments
The number of immigrants in the United States–both legal and illegal–has hit an all-time high, with an estimated 41.3 million people in 2013.
The number comes from a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies.
Since 1990, the immigration population has doubled. In the same time, the general population has risen just over 20 percent. But the biggest jump in immigrant population occurred between 2010 and 2013 with an influx of people from the Middle East, Asia, and the Caribbean. Immigration from Mexico and Europe has slowed since 2010, but Mexicans still make up the largest immigrant population in the U.S–11.6 million legal and illegal immigrants.
Despite the economic recession, the report says, at least 7.5 million immigrants have come to the U.S. since 2007, flocking mainly to North Dakota, West Virginia and Wyoming.
