Summary
The article presents key findings about immigrants in the United States based on data from the US Census Bureau and other sources. After reading the article we can know there were 44.9 million immigrants living in the U.S. in 2019, making up 13.7% of the total U.S. population. Mexicans are the largest immigrant group in the U.S., accounting for 25% of all immigrants. Other top countries of origin include India, China, the Philippines, and El Salvador. Most immigrants live in large metropolitan areas, with the highest concentrations in California, Texas, and New York. Unauthorized immigrants make up about 4.5% of the U.S. population and are more likely to be from Mexico and Central America.
The article talks about important information and trends about immigrants in the United States, such as where they come from, how long they have been in the country, how well they speak English, and how much money they make. However, I wish the article also explained the complicated social, political, and economic reasons behind why people come to the United States as immigrants. The article mostly just shares facts and numbers without explaining why things are the way they are. For example, it mentions that immigrants are more likely to be poor than people born in the United States, but it doesn't say why or how to fix this problem.
