A new study finds that the immigrant population in the US has
reached an all-time high, with more immigrants arriving from Asian
countries than anywhere else. If the trend continues, Asians will make
up a majority of immigrants in the US.
On
Wednesday, the Pew Research Center released a study that used data from
their previous statistical portraits of the immigrant population in the
US from 1960 through 2015 in order to answer some questions about the
current state of the immigrant population.The data showed that while there were a record 43.2 million immigrants living in the US in 2015, there was a greater concentration of immigrants in the country in 1890, when 9.2 million immigrants comprised 14.8 percent of the total population..

The study claims around 1 million immigrants arrive in the US each year, and they are projected to make up 88 percent of the population growth in the US through 2065 if current trends continue.
Nearly half of the immigrants living in the US reside in just three states, with 25 percent in California, 11 percent in Texas and 10 percent in New York. California had around 10.7 million immigrants in 2015, according to the study.
The majority of immigrants live in just 20 major cities, with the largest populations in New York City, Los Angeles and Miami.
