Straightforward, useful information on immigrants to the US.

Who are immigrants to the US, where do they come from and where do they live?
In 2023, approximately 51 million foreign-born people lived in the United States. Almost three-quarters were in the country legally. Half of the rest had some legal protection from deportation.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War.

If this year taught us anything, it's that: 1) Workers keep America going, not billionaires. 2) Corporate profits don't trickle down to workers. 3) Poverty is a policy choice. 4) Health care is a human right. 5) Strikes work. I hope we act on these lessons in the new year.
