Puerto Ricans are American citizens, not immigrants.

People don’t understand illegal immigration holds back the people trying to get in legally and is disproportionate in the terms of accessibility to the rest of the world.

Phillipines is a sleeper hit. No one talks much about their immigration & yet as big as Mainland Chinese in numbers

Is this legal or illegal immigration? Mexico may have a larger percentage of migrants and asylum seekers while India is mostly specialized tech H1B workers with high salaries.

Came here to comment why Puerto Rico is on this and was pleasantly met with comments saying the same thing

Immigrants were never the problem.

Also came here because Puerto Rico should not be on this chart, it is part of the United States. Puerto Ricans are U.S. citizens, not just nationals. They were granted statutory citizenship by the U.S. Congress through the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917. This act made Puerto Rico a U.S. territory and granted its residents U.S. citizenship. There are some differences in the rights that can be exercised by citizens residing in PR because of it was a territorial act of congress instead of statehood entry, but PR citizens are US citizens, full stop.

This is misleading. India is much higher via Canada’s broken immigration system.

Are people just purposely making shitty visualizations with obvious mistakes or terrible legibility to just farm engagement

Surprised that immigration from Canada is only slightly higher than the UK, Poland or Germany. Would have thought that distance would play a much larger role.

If the makers of this don’t know Puerto Rico is a part of the USA then I do not believe any statistic on this chart

Since this was from 2020, I wonder if Covid affected the number?

Germany at half a million can’t be right, something is wrong with that data

Notice how Venezuela is barely visible? Remember the 100 of thousands supposedly coming in?

Almost no French. Interesting

So mainly Latinos and Indians

So, based on this data, nearly 70% of Canada immigrants were not men that year.
What an interesting statistic.

You’re saying that more than 24 million people immigrated into the United States of America in 2020?

Some of these countries’ numbers are crazy, given their populations. 200k from Trinidad, a country of 1.4M. That’s ⅐ of the population.

Not “in 2020”, “as of 2020”. Big difference.
Total net annual immigration to the US is in the range of 800-1100 thousand per year

I made this using d3.js. It’s a new addition to my website [populationpyramid.net](http://populationpyramid.net)
Find the interactive version here: [https://www.populationpyramid.net/immigration-statistics/en/united-states-of-america/2020/](https://www.populationpyramid.net/immigration-statistics/en/united-states-of-america/2020/)
It’s available for all countries, and is animated when you change year.
Any feedback is welcome on how to improve that.
There is also a table version of the dataset, which is “UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs – International Migrant Stock”
