The Yearbook of Immigration Statistics

The Department of Homeland Security has just released The Yearbook of Immigration Statistics which contains data on foreign nationals who, during the last fiscal year, were granted lawful permanent residence (their Green Card), were admitted into the United States on a temporary basis, applied for asylum or refugee status, or who became United States citizens. The Yearbook also contains statistical information on immigration enforcement, which includes data on individuals taken into custody, numbers of individuals deported, and criminal prosecutions for violation of United States immigration and criminal laws.

In addition to the Yearbook, the Office of Immigration Statistics released Annual Flow Reports and Annual Reports that provide text, tables, and charts on legal permanent residents, refugees and asylees, nonimmigrant admissions, naturalizations, and enforcement actions.

The Yearbook of Immigration Statistics and the Office of Immigration Statistics Annual Reports may be viewed here.
