Beyond Miami and New York: Migrants are Changing Smaller Cities in the U.S.
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
In the past decade, the U.S. has seen an unprecedented rise in border crossings, with millions arriving from over 150 countries, leading to the highest immigrant population in history. While traditional immigrant hubs like New York and Miami remain popular, smaller cities such as Elkhart, Indiana, and Knoxville, Tennessee, are increasingly becoming destinations for newcomers. Data from 4.5 million migrants released after crossing the southern border reveal diverse origins, including India and Ecuador. Notably, nearly 60% of these migrants are women and children, marking a significant demographic shift. Florida continues to be a primary destination, but many seek better opportunities elsewhere.
