Growing Share of Immigrants Choosing Naturalization
Growing Share of Immigrants Choosing Naturalization (External link)
Executive Summary The proportion of all legal foreign-born residents who have become naturalized U.S. citizens rose to 52% in 2005, the highest level in a quarter of a century and 15 percentage point increase since 1990, according to an analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center. The population of naturalized citizens reached 12.8 million in 2005, a historic high that reflects both a rise in the number of legal migrants and an increased likelihood that those who are eligible apply for citizenship.
