It's doubled in a decade or so, due in large part to the new runway that allows multiple flightpaths in bad weather. There might be another sizable jump in 2020 when the new International Arrivals Facility opens and fixes the customs logjam.
Here's the top 15 increases of 2007 to 2017:

1. NY JFK: +5,574,190 passengers
2. Los Angeles: +3,728,409 passengers
3. Miami: +2,629,807 passengers
4. San Francisco: +2,253,883 passengers
5. Fort Lauderdale: +2,199,234 passengers
6. Orlando: +1,817,147 passengers
7. Dallas DFW: +1,743,218 passengers
8. Boston: +1,531,977 passengers
9. Atlanta: +1,439,161 passengers
10. Houston: +1,292,151 passengers
11. Seattle: +1,190,250 passengers
12. DC Dulles: +907,000 passengers
13. Newark: +879,694 passengers
14. Las Vegas: +714,046 passengers
15. Chicago O'Hare: +697,896 passengers

The only major airport to decline was Detroit at a loss of over 130,000 passengers. Philadelphia only gained 7700.

The only major airport to decline was Detroit at a loss of over 130,000 passengers. Philadelphia only gained 7700.
Regarding Detroit, in 2007, there were 3,217,556 international passengers and in 2018 there were 3,263,378. It went down a bit after 2007 but it has rebounded in the last two years.

All Passenger traffic at Detroit Metropolitan Airport (DTW) grew to 35,236,676 in 2018 compared to 2017, an increase of more than 535,000 travelers, according to data released by the airport’s Department of Financial Planning & Analysis. The 2018 total is the highest number of passengers at DTW since 2007. The 1.5 percent year-over-year increase can be attributed in part to new domestic and international service.

Statistics on international passengers are below. In short, Detroit appears to have rebounded - unless I am reading these reports incorrectly.

Two words: Hurricane Harvey. Our airport was closed for two weeks and ran limited operations for over a month.

Which means many of the people flying into those other cities aren’t there to visit that city. They are flying through. That makes sense when comparing this to international tourist info for these cities.

Exactly. Look at Atlanta as a prime example. Well more than half of the 5.9 million international passengers are simply connecting to/from their destination in ATL.

As a boast for Chicago in 2018 states for its airports. It is gaining in International travelers. Just being in the Midwest..... it isn't in the big Coastal cities top choices and whose region draws the most. Like mighty NYC and LA especially.
But they had;
- record passenger volumes include a more than 10 percent increase in international traffic fueled largely by O’Hare.
- with nearly 50 new domestic and international destinations added in 2018 at O’Hare and Midway combined.

PHL is up ~10% and should maintain that growth as AA moves more Int'l flights from JFK to PHL - there are 7 new Int'l destinations in PHL from AA this year. They are also moving 787s there replacing old 767s. Lots of renewed speculation on a Asian route as well

Is that true? There's Origin and Destination (O&D) that can tell you exactly how many international passengers made ATL their destination vs. connected to somewhere else. I haven't seen numbers recently, but I think that number is significant. I believe it's still one of the top 10 airports in the U.S. in terms of international O&D passengers even though it's a major hub for connecting flights.

And Philadelphia gets a lot of its international visitors through Newark and JFK due to more direct options.

When I lived in Philadelphia, I almost always flew out of Newark because I am a United flyer.

Hard to measure the %, but between PHL, EWR and JFK, Philadelphia numbers would be among that top 10 bunch.

Glad too see AA expand in Philadelphia though, Prague and Zurich are new direct routes this year.
