U.S. Immigrant Population Declines Amid Policy Changes and Record Numbers of Departures
TL;DR Summary
The US immigrant population has decreased for the first time since the 1960s, dropping from 53.3 million to 51.9 million, influenced by stricter immigration policies under the Trump administration and recent changes during the Biden administration. Despite this decline, the US still hosts the largest immigrant population globally, with notable shifts in the origins of new immigrants and a record high unauthorized population of 14 million in 2023, which is now beginning to decline due to increased deportations and policy changes.
