Every 32 seconds a new immigrant joins the U.S. population. Some are undocumented and some arrive with the proper visas, but the data underscores the nation's shifting demographics as President-elect Donald Trump takes office next month with a mission to stop illegal immigration.
In all, roughly 14 percent of the nation were foreign born from 2011 to 2015, according to recent Census Bureau population projections for 2017. At least 80 percent of the nation identified as white, 15 percent said they were Hispanic or Latino, nearly 12 percent were black and Asians made up about 5 percent of the country. Roughly 323.1 million people call the United States home.
