Immigration to the United States over time by region In 2022, there were 46,118,600 immigrant residents in the United States or 13.8% of the US population according to the American Immigration Council . Of these, 9,940,700 were undocumented or illegal, making up 21.6% of all immigrants or 3% of the total US population.[ 1]
The 1850 United States census was the first federal U.S. census to query respondents about their "nativity"—i.e, where they were born, whether in the United States or outside of it—and is thus the first point at which solid census statistics become available. The following chart, based on statistics from the U.S. census from 1850 on,[ 2]
This census-based approach to measuring historical U.S. immigration statistics produces only a rough approximation because census surveys are conducted only every ten years, yielding only decadal estimates of net migration (immigration to the country minus emigration from it: as proxied by net changes in the stock of foreign-born residents). The chart (above and to the right here), "Immigration to the United States by region (millions)," is a somewhat more accurate depiction, although it too measures only ten year blocks (think of it as a bar graph rather than the line graph displayed), and, as pointed out in the "More Details" to it, the levels shown are valid only through 2010. Actual year by year immigrant arrivals data (with some -not always consistent over time- adjustment correcting for visitors who do not remain permanently), provide more fine-grained measurement, and are available starting as of 1820.[ 3] [ 4]

Persons Obtaining Lawful Permanent Resident Status: Fiscal Years 1820 to 2023" . ^ This is explained in the Historical Statistics of the United States (Millennial Edition) , edited by Carter et. al. (2006), pages 1-538 to 1-540, which also points out -as Nancy Rytina ["IRCA Legalization Effects: Lawful Permanent Residence and Naturalization through 2001," Office of Policy and Planning Statistics Division, U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, paper presented on October 25, 2002)] further elaborates- that most of the seemingly record high 1990 and 1991 totals for "permanent resident status" (in the thus-titled table on this Wikipedia page) actually reflects "legalizations," under the 1986 "Amnesty" program ("IRCA") , of persons who mostly moved to America in the 1970s and early '80s.
