These agencies make available various statistics related to their immigration work. This report provides guidance in identifying frequently requested immigration data from federal government sources, most of which are publicly available. This report is not a comprehensive listing of all federal immigration statistics.\nThe statistical sources included in this report are organized into five major categories: (1) the foreign-born population in the United States, (2) lawful admissions, (3) naturalization, (4) immigration enforcement, and (5) special populations. A brief overview is given for each category, including definitions of key terms, relevant federal agencies, and examples of common data-related questions. A table listing selected statistical sources follows each overview. In addition, there is an appendix with a glossary of acronyms and abbreviations.", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": true, "formats": [ { "format": "HTML", "encoding": "utf-8", "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/R45315", "sha1": "a168569e0e5f75b4b90c85469c1f5ea904c6bccd", "filename": "files/20180918_R45315_a168569e0e5f75b4b90c85469c1f5ea904c6bccd.html", "images": {} } ], "topics": [ { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4791, "name": "Asylees, Refugees, & Other Humanitarian Concerns" }, { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4822, "name": "Immigration Legal Admissions" }, { "source": "IBCList", "id": 4886, "name": "Unauthorized Migrants & Immigration Enforcement & Removal" } ] } ], "topics": [ "Immigration Policy" ] }
