US Immigration in 2025

The Rural Migration News blog reports that the United States has 50 million or almost 20 percent of the world’s 280 million international migrants, far more than Germany (16 million), Saudi Arabia (13 million), and Russia (12 million). The US admits over a million legal immigrants a year, two-thirds because they have family members already in the US who sponsor them, and hosts another 11 million unauthorized foreigners and millions more foreigners who have a temporary legal status.
