In 2023, the primary countries of origin for immigrants to the United States included Mexico, India, China, and the Philippines, with Mexico contributing the largest number of immigrants due to its geographical proximity and historical ties. Other significant countries of origin were El Salvador, Vietnam, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Korea (FactCheck.org) (Migration Policy Institute) (Visual Capitalist).
Additionally, there has been a notable increase in immigrants from Venezuela, Colombia, Honduras, and Nigeria. This reflects various socio-economic and political factors driving migration, including economic opportunities and conditions in the immigrants’ home countries (FactCheck.org) (Pew Research Center).
These trends highlight the continued diversity of U.S. immigration, with substantial contributions from both Latin America and Asia (Migration Policy Institute) (Visual Capitalist).
