While the illegal immigration debate flared in Utah the past few years, new Census Bureau estimates suggest that immigration here by foreign-born people slowed greatly.
Based on surveys of foreign-born residents who lived in Utah in 2010 — both documented and undocumented — the Census estimates about 15,610 of them immigrated here from 2008 through 2010.
That was down from the 25,422 it estimates immigrated here from 2005 through 2007 — for a 39 percent drop between those two three-year periods.
