Recent Immigration Surge Has Been Largest in U.S. History
Briefly

The immigration surge from 2021 to 2023 is unprecedented, with net migration reaching 2.4 million annually and total likely to exceed eight million under Biden.
Even with a larger U.S. population, the current immigration pace is the most rapid since 1850, rising to 0.6% of total population, matching earlier peaks.
Most of this growth is propelled by unauthorized immigration, with about 60% of new arrivals lacking legal status, intensifying discussions around immigration policy.
The foreign-born population has now increased to 15.2% of the total U.S. population, marking a significant demographic shift.
