The U.S. Census Bureau is changing its counting methodology for immigrants to include more individuals admitted for humanitarian reasons, reflecting significant population shifts.
We feel confident that this was a good approach in order to make our estimates more current and reflect recent trends that we've seen, said Eric Jensen.
The inclusion of those granted humanitarian parole aims to provide a clearer picture of immigration changes, as current estimates have notably been lower than other agencies.
The new approach will show how the percentage of foreign-born U.S. residents has increased to its highest level in over a century, with potential for even greater numbers.
