  • Iraqi Americans are Americans of Iraqi descent, including those who are expatriates in exile or permanent immigrants. According to the ancestries article in the 2000 Census around 37,714 (0.01%) Americans with Iraqi descent were living within the United States. Since the 2003 war has started, less than 800 refugees have made the United States their home, and discrimination has been relatively low. According to the census regulations of 2005, the racial status of Iraqi Americans along with all other Arab Americans is considered to be white. According to the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services, 49,006 Iraqi foreign born immigrated to the United States between 1989 and 2001 and 25,710 Iraqi-born immigrants naturalized between 1991 and 2001. However, the US Census 2000 reported that there were approximately 90,000 immigrants born in Iraq residing in the United States. Since the US-led invasion of Iraq, the US has promised to increase the number of Iraqi refugees who will be allowed to settle in the United States from 500 to 7,000. The states with the largest Iraqi foreign born populations are Michigan, California and Illinois. The cities with the largest Iraqi immigrant populations are Detroit, Chicago and San Diego. More than one third of Iraqis now living in the United States entered as refugees or were granted refugee status after entering. Iraqi immigrants approximately represent 14 per cent of all immigrants from Western Asia, but compromise less than one per cent of the total foreign-born population in the United States.
