All U.S. population growth in 2022-2023 happened because of immigration, rather than births, for the first time since 1850, according to a new report released Wednesday. The data comes as the Trump administration continues to crack down on immigration and promising mass deportation operations.
The new data comes from a new report by the nonpartisan think tank, Migration Policy Institute as part of its latest edition of "Frequently Requested Statistics on Immigrants and Immigration in the United States." The study focuses on 2022-2023, the latest data available.
