United States immigration statistics

{{short description|none}}

{{update|date=October 2024}}

File:Immigration to the United States over time by region.svgIn 2022, there were 46,118,600 immigrant residents in the United States or 13.8% of the US population according to the American Immigration Council. Of these, 9,940,700 were undocumented or illegal, making up 21.6% of all immigrants or 3% of the total US population.{{Cite web |title=Immigrants in the United States |url=https://map.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/locations/national/ |access-date=August 28, 2024 |website=American Immigration Council}}

The 1850 United States census was the first federal U.S. census to query respondents about their "nativity"—i.e, where they were born, whether in the United States or outside of it—and is thus the first point at which solid census statistics become available. The following chart, based on statistics from the U.S. Census from 1850 on,The statistics through 1990 are taken from [https://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0029/tab04.html Table 4], "Region and Country or Area of Birth of the Foreign-Born Population, With Geographic Detail Shown in Decennial Census Publications of 1930 or Earlier: 1850 to 1930 and 1960 to 1990", in: Gibson, Campbell J.; Lennon, Emily (February 1999). "[https://www.census.gov/population/www/documentation/twps0029/twps0029.html Historical Census Statistics on the Foreign-born Population of the United States: 1850-1990]". Population Division, US Bureau of the Census, Washington, DC. Retrieved 2017-06-11. shows the numbers of non-native residents according to place of birth. Because an immigrant is counted in each census during his or her lifetime, the numbers reflect the cumulative population of living non-native residents.

This census-based approach to measuring historical U.S. immigration statistics produces only a rough approximation because census surveys are conducted only every ten years, yielding only decadal estimates of {{em|net}} migration (immigration to the country minus emigration from it: as proxied by net changes in the stock of foreign-born residents). The chart (above and to the right here), "Immigration to the United States by region (millions)," is a somewhat more accurate depiction, although it too measures only ten year blocks (think of it as a bar graph rather than the line graph displayed), and, as pointed out in the "More Details" to it, the levels shown are valid only through 2010. Actual year by year immigrant arrivals data (with some -not always consistent over time- adjustment correcting for visitors who do not remain permanently), provide more fine-grained measurement, and are available starting as of 1820.Manifests of arriving passengers were first legally required at U.S. ports of entry in 1819, under the Steerage Act of 1819. The resulting year by year immigrant arrival statistics now show in the official U.S. federal Immigration Statistics Yearbook tables. See, for instance, {{Cite web |title= Immigration Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, Yearbook 2023, Table 1. Persons Obtaining Lawful Permanent Resident Status: Fiscal Years 1820 to 2023 |url=https://ohss.dhs.gov/topics/immigration/yearbook/2023/table1}} However, those data, which were categorized by U.S. immigration authorities as "Immigrants" until about 2000, but since then as "Persons Obtaining Lawful Permanent Resident Status" (yet still labeled "Immigrants" even for years after 2000, in the chart above right), also have inconsistencies over time, most notably because the numbers tabluated reflect actual written recording of (most) non-U.S. citizens arriving before 1933, but -from then on- bestowal of permanent residencies ("green cards"). This is explained in the {{em|Historical Statistics of the United States (Millennial Edition)}}, edited by Carter et. al. (2006), pages 1-538 to 1-540, which also points out -as Nancy Rytina ["IRCA Legalization Effects: Lawful Permanent Residence and Naturalization through 2001," Office of Policy and Planning Statistics Division, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, paper presented on October 25, 2002)] further elaborates- that most of the seemingly record high 1990 and 1991 totals for "permanent resident status" (in the thus-titled table on this Wikipedia page) actually reflects "legalizations," under the 1986 "Amnesty" program ("IRCA"), of persons who mostly moved to America in the 1970s and early '80s.

This table lists the number of refugee arrivals by each fiscal year along with the ceiling.
