The number of refugees arriving in the United States and the number of new green cards issued have both declined since 2016.
These facts come from the Department of Homeland Security’s recently released 2018 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics.
This data came out after a US Census Bureau release showing a decline in immigration to the United States in 2019. While the Department of Homeland Security numbers are not as current as the Census data, they provide some of the most comprehensive facts on issues related to immigration including visas, naturalizations, asylum, and refugee statuses and removals.
