Biden Swells Foreign-Born Voting Population Before Midterm ElectionsJohn Binder 10 Nov 2021
President Joe Biden has swelled the number of legal immigrants securing naturalized American citizenship, allowing them to vote in future elections, new United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) data shows.
The data, shared with CNN, reveals that Biden’s efforts to boost naturalization rates ahead of the 2022 midterm elections and 2024 presidential election have worked.
From October 1, 2020 to September 30, about 855,000 legal immigrants became naturalized American citizens — the highest annual number of legal immigrants getting naturalized in more than a decade. Put another way, more than 2,300 legal immigrants were naturalized every day over the last Fiscal Year.
Compare that to Fiscal Year 2020, when about 625,400 legal immigrants were naturalized. In Fiscal Year 2019, about 844,000 legal immigrants were naturalized and the year before then, in Fiscal Year 2018, nearly 762,000 were naturalized.
The last time naturalization rates were this high was in Fiscal Year 2008 when more than a million legal immigrants became naturalized American citizens.
Demographic data for newly naturalized American citizens are not yet available, but data from prior years shows legal immigrants from Mexico dominate the naturalization process, as well as nationals from India, the Philippines, China, and Cuba.
In addition, new analysis of U.S. Census Bureau figures from the Center for Immigration Studies finds that the nation’s foreign-born population has grown to 45.4 million by the end of September — an increase of 1.6 million from the same time the year before.
