Notes

CBO's 'other foreign nationals' category is broader than the undocumented or unauthorized immigrant population. It includes people who entered illegally as well as certain humanitarian parolees and other people outside CBO's LPR+ and INA nonimmigrant categories. The 2010–2019 value is an annual average reported by CBO; the cited 2026 report does not provide individual annual OFN values for those years.
