U.S. Immigrant Population Hit Record 42.4 Million in 2014

Large scale immigration into the U.S. continues, with the nation’s immigrant, or foreign-born, population (legal and illegal) growing 2.4 million since 2010 and up 1 million during the 2013 to 2014 period. The Center for Immigration Studies’ analysis of the Census Bureau’s just released 2014 American Community Survey (ACS) shows an acceleration in the growth of the nation’s immigrant population. Last month the Center for Immigration Studies reported on monthly Census Bureau data which also showed the pace of immigration increasing. The new ACS data more completely covers the immigrant population than the monthly data and allows for more detailed analysis by country of origin and state.
