The overall percentage of the national population that is foreign-born increased to 13.9 percent.
“According to Census Bureau estimates, the total immigrant population grew by almost 30% between 2005 and 2022, climbing to just over 46 million people. Foreign-born Americans made up 13.9% of the U.S. population in 2022, up 1.5 percentage points from 2005.” – @NPR pic.twitter.com/kV5I7Ypnuz
