The study, which takes into account both legal and illegal immigration numbers, shows that 2,480,407 immigrants from Muslim-majority countries currently reside inside the U.S., a 63% increase since 2000, when census numbers showed almost a million fewer from that region (1,518,755). Between 2010 and 2013, the number increased by 300,000.
The CIS report also showed that between 2010 and 2013, 207,758 immigrants moved to the U.S. from the Middle East, a 13% growth, while only about half that, 113,744, came from Central America.
