According to recent survey by Census Bureau, Last year,  the number of foreign-born people in the United States grew by 523, 400.  Since 2006, this is the biggest jump and also beats last year’s net gain of roughly 446, 800.

Most of the people are from China and Asia, especially skilled workers from India. A main reason behind this is strengthening economy of United States and excellent job and career opportunities.

Annual growth in the U.S. foreign-born population remains lower than the 800,000 or so average of a decade ago. Tighter borders, along with declining fertility and increased economic opportunities in Mexico, make it unlikely Hispanic immigration will surge the way it did in the 1990s—leaving Asians the dominant force.

But the census data show that six years after the recession began, America is restoring its reputation as an economic beacon among immigrants, even as other nations, including in Asia, become more attractive. If demand for high-skilled workers grows and Hispanic immigration revives, that could also mean U.S. businesses are feeling more bullish about the economy’s prospects.
