The Migration Policy Institute (MPI) reports that 28% of all immigrants in the United States – about 11 million – come from Asia

Asians are the second largest immigrant group after Latinos, with nearly half coming from the Philippines, India and China and residing in California, New York and Texas. A majority of immigrant doctors and nurses are from Asia. MPI estimates that Asian immigrants accounted for 11% of all illegal immigrants in 2010. The Department of Homeland Security counts among illegal immigrants: 280,000 Filipinos, 200,000 Indians, 170,000 Koreans and 130,000 Chinese. Immigration is identified with Latinos because more than half of all immigrants to the United States are from Latin America. In addition, more than three quarters of illegal immigrants are from Latin America.
