The recent surge in immigration to the U.S. is characterized by unprecedented numbers, exceeding previous historical peaks, particularly highlighting a dramatic rise during the Biden administration.
The period from 2020 to 2023 has seen annual net migration reach an average of 2.4 million, surpassing previous records and confirming that the current immigration wave is the fastest since at least 1850.
Approximately 60 percent of the immigrants entering the U.S. since 2021 have done so without legal authorization, reflecting significant trends in both legal and undocumented immigration.
As a result of this immigration surge, the foreign-born population's share of the total U.S. population has climbed to a new high of 15.2 percent, indicating a substantial demographic shift.
