Analyze the infographic data

The donut chart "What is the legal status of immigrants?" shows four categories:

• Naturalized citizens: represented by the largest green segment (approximately 45-49%).
• Lawful permanent residents: represented by the blue segment (approximately 25-27%).
• Temporary lawful: represented by a very small orange segment.
• Unauthorized: represented by the red segment (approximately 23%).

Evaluate each statement

• Naturalized citizens make up more than 50 percent of the immigrant population: Incorrect. The green segment is less than half (under 50%).
• More immigrants in America have an authorized legal status than unauthorized: Correct. Authorized groups (naturalized, lawful permanent, temporary lawful) combined make up over 75% of the population, which is far greater than the unauthorized group (approx. 23%).
• The smallest group of immigrants are unauthorized immigrants: Incorrect. The temporary lawful group (orange segment) is visibly much smaller than the unauthorized group (red segment).
• The majority of immigrants are lawful permanent residents or naturalized citizens: Correct. Combining naturalized citizens (approx. 45-49%) and lawful permanent residents (approx. 25-27%) yields over 70%, which constitutes a clear majority (greater than 50%).
