Foreign-born US population tops 49 million in 2023, beating Census prediction by 10 years

The Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) conducted in October shows that the United States population has more foreign-born individuals than at any other time in history, at 49.5 million people, or 15 percent. 

According to the Center for Immigration Studies, there has been a 4.5 million in foreign-born residents increase since the Biden administration took over. Prior estimates expected the population to be at 2.5 million at this point—the number was not expected to hit 15 percent until 2033.
