US Sees Record Surge in Foreign-Born Population Under Biden

New report shows unprecedented increase driven largely by illegal immigration, with significant unemployment among recent arrivals.

Foreign-born population in the US reaches 51.6 million, making up 15.6% of the total population.
Since January 2021, the number of foreign-born individuals in the US has increased by 6.6 million.
Nearly 60% of the recent increase is attributed to illegal immigration.
Only 46% of immigrants who arrived after March 2022 are currently employed.
Projections suggest the foreign-born population could exceed 82 million by 2040.
