Fox News
The U.S. Census Bureau released a report Thursday showing that immigration drove the U.S. population's highest rate increase in over two decades.
This year, immigration increased by almost 2.8 million people, in part due to a new method of counting that adds people who were admitted for humanitarian reasons. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Net international migration, which the Census Bureau says refers to any change of residence across U.S. borders, was a critical component of the change driving growth in the residential population. Story tips and ideas can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
