South American migration, especially from Venezuela, has been increasing, growing three times as rapidly as total U.S. migration from 2000 to 2022, according to a recent study released by Migration Information Source, the online journal of the Migration Policy Institute.
The spotlight, titled "South American Immigrants in the United States," highlights that, however, the nearly 4 million South Americans comprised just 9 percent of all 46.2 million U.S.-based immigrants as of 2022.
