"Concentration of Foreign-Born U.S. Residents in 4 Key States"

A new report from the U.S. Census Bureau reveals that more than half of the foreign-born population in the United States resides in California, Texas, Florida, and New York, with half of them hailing from Latin America. The foreign-born population has grown older and more educated over the past twelve years, with most states experiencing double-digit percentage increases. The report comes amid heightened focus on immigration as a key issue in the 2024 presidential race, with the Biden administration facing challenges in managing an influx of migrants at the Southwest border.
