People. The American Community Survey (www.census.gov/acs/www) estimated there were 38.1 million foreign-born US residents in 2007; 12.6 percent of the US population. They included 11.7 million people born in Mexico; 1.9 million born in China; 1.7 million born in the Philippines; 1.5 million born in India; 1.1 million each born in El Salvador and Vietnam; and a million born in Korea. The next leading countries of birth are Cuba, Canada and the Dominican Republic.
The ACS encompasses a population perhaps five million larger than is included in the Current Population Survey, which estimates the civilian noninstitutional population. Estimates based on the CPS, such as those published by Pew (www.pewhispanic.org), report 37 million foreign-born. Pew adjusts CPS data for undercounts, which yields an estimate of 12.7 million Mexican-born US residents.
Of the 16.2 million foreign-born US residents, 42 percent were naturalized US citizens in 2007. About 47 percent of the foreign-born men, and 53 percent of the foreign-born women, had naturalized.
