from US Census
Of all married-couple households in the United States in 2011, over one out of five (21 percent) had at least one foreign-born spouse, and in about 7 percent of married-couple households, the marriage was between a native person and a foreign-born person (Figure 1 below). The married couples of these households were more likely to have a native husband and a foreign-born wife (rather than a foreign-born husband and a native wife) and to include a naturalized U.S. citizen (rather than a noncitizen).
Also, the foreign born spouses of these households came from diverse places of birth (with a plurality from Latin America and the Caribbean). Furthermore, mixed-nativity married-couple households were found to reside in all 50 states and the District of Columbia with higher proportions in some of the traditional immigration gateway states e.g., Florida, Illinois, and Texas) and in many mid-Atlantic and western states of the nation.
