Guess you missed this, along with a friend from immigration letting me know the same..........Between 2020 and 2025, an unprecedented wave of over 11 million immigrants arrived in the U.S.. This averages to more than 2 million new immigrants per year, with over 3 million arriving in peak years like 2023. This influx drives the majority of the nation's population growth. The U.S. immigrant population (both legal and unauthorized) reached record highs, sitting at over 50 million individuals. Here are the key characteristics of this annual movement: Legal Admissions: The U.S. regularly grants legal permanent resident status (green cards) to over 700,000 individuals annually, and processes about 750,000 to over 1 million naturalizations for U.S. citizenship. Net Migration: The annual net migration rate (total arrivals minus departures) fluctuates between 1.2 to 1.3 million. Temporary Residents: Alongside permanent movers, around 3.6 million nonimmigrants (primarily students and temporary workers) reside in the U.S. on long-term visas at any given time. Shifting Origins: While Mexico and Asia remain top contributors, recent years have seen a massive surge in arrivals from South America and Europe. .
