US Immigration in Historical Perspective Examined
Original: How high is current immigration to the United States in historical perspective?
New analysis from Our World in Data examines how current immigration levels to the United States compare with earlier periods in the country's history. The piece places recent flows in long-term context, looking at foreign-born population shares over time and prompting debate about whether today's numbers are historically unprecedented or within past norms.
Why now: Immigration remains a central political topic in the United States, and historical comparisons are being shared to inform that debate.
