SEATTLE - New studies show that Texas and Florida remain as the preferred places for immigrants to settle down despite immigration crackdowns by Republican Govs. Ron DeSantis and Greg Abbott.
The number of foreign-born people in the United States rose by more than 5 million over 10 years. It now amounts to 45.3 million or 13.7% of the nation's population, according to estimates from the 2018-2022 5-year American Community Survey (ACS). Despite most of them coming from Latin American countries, not all of them have settled in the same places.
