WASHINGTON—A new analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data finds the average age of foreign individuals coming to America is steadily increasing, with many more near or at retirement age, the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) said July 2.

“Immigrants (legal and illegal) are coming to the United States at significantly older ages than in the past. The average age and the share arriving at or near retirement increased significantly in the last two decades,” the CIS study said.
