US immigration levels examined in historical perspective
Original: How high is current immigration to the United States in historical perspective?
An analysis published on Our World in Data compares current immigration to the United States with rates from earlier periods of American history. The piece puts today's immigration flows in long-term context, looking at how the foreign-born share of the population and annual arrivals measure up against past immigration waves, including the great European migrations of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Readers are debating how the historical comparison should inform today's immigration policy arguments.
Why now: Immigration remains a contested political topic in the United States, and historical data offers a fresh angle on the debate.
