In FY 2000, the United States granted lawful permanent residence (LPR status) to 102,365 aliens born in 44 Muslim-majority countries. By FY 2023, the number had increased to 185,730, representing an 81 percent increase.
In FY 1980, the U.S. granted LPR status to 38,863 aliens born in Muslim-majority countries. Thus, the number increased by 378 percent from 1980 to 2023. Of 2023’s 185,730, 168,430 came from countries that existed as independent nations in 1980 and for which figures from that year are publicly available. If only immigrants from these countries are counted toward the 2023 total, the increase from 1980 would be 333 percent.

The U.S. Census Bureau explains that “The resident population counts include all people (citizens and noncitizens) who are living in the United States at the time of the census.” In 2000 there were 1,805,232 foreign-born persons from Muslim-majority countries residing in the United States. By 2024, the number had increased to 4,117,583, representing a 128 percent increase.
In 1980, the number of foreign-born persons from Muslim-majority countries was 513,182. Thus, the number increased by 702 percent from 1980 to 2024.
Of 1980’s 513,182, 503,289 were born in countries for which figures from 2024 are publicly available. Of 2024’s 4,117,583, 3,846,620 were born in countries that existed as independent nations in 1980 and for which figures from that year are publicly available. If only foreign-born persons from countries that existed as independent nations in 1980 and for which figures from 1980 are publicly available are counted toward the 2024 total, and if only foreign-born persons from countries for which figures from 2024 are publicly available are counted toward the 1980 total, the increase from 1980 would be 664 percent.
