Immigration in the United States

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett claimed illegal immigration is a civil violation, not a crime. The U.S. immigrant population reached record highs in January 2025. The legal and illegal immigrant population hit 53.3 million and 15.8% of the total U.S. population.

The U.S. population is expected to continue rising in the next three decades, but at a slower pace, mainly due to net immigration, declining fertility rates, and an aging population. This could have significant implications for the U.S. society and economy, especially concerning programs like Social Security.
