The immigration surge since 2021 has been the largest in U.S. history, surpassing even the levels of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Total net migration will likely exceed eight million people over the past four years, including both legal and illegal immigration.
Even after adjusting for today's larger population, the surge is slightly larger than during the peak years of Ellis Island traffic, illustrating the significant scale of recent immigration trends in America.
The share of the U.S. population born in another country has reached a record high of 15.2 percent in the summer of 2023, the highest since 1890, indicating a substantial demographic shift.
