The US has more immigrants than any other country in the world. According to the Pew Research Center, there are more than 40 million people living in the US who were born in another country.
The top country of origin for immigrants in the US is Mexico, with 11.2 million immigrants living in the US from there. That accounts for 25% of all immigrants in the US.
During the latest reporting year, we know that 29 million immigrants were working in the US. Out of those, 7.6 million were undocumented immigrants.
For the latest fiscal year, the annual ceiling for the number of asylum seekers allowed into the US was set at 30,000, the lowest since the program began in 1980.
The Deferred Actions for Childhood Arrivals program has faced serious changes and challenges over the last few years.
It is estimated that over 1.3 million undocumented immigrants are eligible to apply for DACA, only around half of that number have done or continue to do so. This is likely due to the continual confusion over the status of the program and a general shift in the immigration debate in the US.
