Net Foreign or International Immigration accounted for 40 percent of the population increase between 2010 and 2016. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows that foreign immigrants added an additional 5.8 million people over six years.
In the six-year period, 2.3 million Asians immigrated to the U.S. compared to 1.3 million White Hispanics, 1 million Whites (Non Hispanic) and 851,355 Blacks.
