Other states with decreases over that period are in the South (Alabama, Georgia and Kentucky), the Midwest (Illinois, Indiana and Kansas) and the Northeast (Massachusetts and New York).[1. The number of unauthorized immigrants may have risen or fallen in additional states, but these changes are not detectable because they fall within the margin of error for these estimates. The unauthorized immigrant population was too small to permit an analysis of the statistical significance of the trends in seven states: Maine, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming. Even grouping Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming to achieve a larger base, the measured change from 2009 to 2012 was not statistically significant. Estimates for all states of unauthorized immigrant populations can be found in the Appendix A tables and Appendix B maps.]<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2014\/11\/18\/unauthorized-immigrant-totals-rise-in-7-states-fall-in-14\/ph_2014-11-18_unauthorized-immigration-02\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21488\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-21488\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/11\/PH_2014-11-18_unauthorized-immigration-02.png\" alt=\"Unauthorized Immigrant Populations Changed in 21 States, Stable in U.S. Overall, 2009-2012\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nationally, the population of 11.2 million unauthorized immigrants in 2012 was unchanged from 2009, the year the Great Recession ended (<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2014\/09\/03\/as-growth-stalls-unauthorized-immigrant-population-becomes-more-settled\/\">Passel, Cohn, Krogstad and Gonzalez-Barrera<\/a>). The number had peaked in 2007 at 12.2 million and declined for the next two years during the recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In six of the seven states where populations of unauthorized immigrants grew from 2009 to 2012, it was because the number of non-Mexicans increased; the number of Mexicans declined or did not change. The exception was Nebraska, which had a small but statistically significant increase in Mexican unauthorized immigrants in those years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There has been renewed debate about unauthorized immigration in recent weeks, as President Barack Obama has restated his intention to take executive action that could give relief from deportation and work permits to some of this population (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/11\/14\/us\/obama-immigration.html?action=click&amp;contentCollection=U.S.&amp;module=RelatedCoverage&amp;region=Marginalia&amp;pgtype=article\">New York Times, 2014<\/a>). Republican leaders, who will control both houses of Congress next year as a result of the mid-term elections, have cautioned that any executive action would torpedo the chances for a bipartisan immigration reform bill.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the groups widely thought to be under consideration for relief from deportation are long-time U.S. residents with U.S.-born children. The Pew Research Center estimates that 4 million unauthorized immigrant parents, or 38% of adults in this population, lived with their U.S.-born children, either minors or adults, in 2012. Of these, 3 million had lived in the U.S. for 10 years or more (<a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2014\/09\/03\/as-growth-stalls-unauthorized-immigrant-population-becomes-more-settled\/\">Passel, Cohn, Krogstad and Gonzalez-Barrera, 2014)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/hispanic\/2014\/11\/18\/unauthorized-immigrant-totals-rise-in-7-states-fall-in-14\/ph_2014-11-18_unauthorized-immigration-03\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-21489\"><img data-dominant-color=\"eae5e2\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #eae5e2;\" decoding=\"async\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" class=\"wp-image-21489 not-transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pewresearch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2014\/11\/PH_2014-11-18_unauthorized-immigration-03.png\" alt=\"Unauthorized Immigrants in the U.S. Labor Force, 1995-2012\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to unauthorized immigrants, the nation\u2019s foreign-born population of 42.5 million people in 2012 consisted of 11.7 million legal permanent residents, 17.8 million naturalized citizens and 1.9 million legal residents with temporary status (including students, diplomats and \u201chigh-tech guest workers\u201d).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 8.1 million unauthorized immigrants who were working or looking for work in 2012 made up 5.1% of the labor force. Both of those estimates are unchanged from 2009. The number in the labor force has remained between 8.1 million and 8.3 million since 2007. The share of unauthorized immigrants in the workforce peaked in 2007, at 5.4%.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among states, the share of unauthorized immigrants in the labor force is highest in Nevada (10.2% in 2012).

Unauthorized immigrant populations from Asia, the Caribbean, Central America and the rest of the world grew slightly from 2009 to 2012.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The unauthorized immigrant estimates throughout this report are produced using a multistage method that subtracts the legal foreign-born population from the total adjusted foreign-born population; the residual then is used as the source of information about unauthorized immigrants. The main source of data for estimates from 2005 on is the U.S. Census Bureau\u2019s American Community Survey; estimates for 1995 and 2000 use the bureau\u2019s March Current Population Surveys.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because they are based on updated data, the new estimates of unauthorized immigrants for states and the nation in this report supersede previously published Pew Research Center estimates. All trends have been updated to reflect the most current data.

The terms \u201cforeign born\u201d and \u201cimmigrant\u201d are used interchangeably. \u201cU.S. born\u201d refers to an individual who is a U.S. citizen at birth, including people born in the United States, Puerto Rico or other U.S. territories, as well as those born elsewhere to parents who were U.S. citizens. When referring to children of unauthorized immigrants, the terms \u201cU.S. born\u201d and \u201cU.S. citizen\u201d are used interchangeably; a small number of these children may be naturalized citizens.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201clegal immigrant\u201d population is defined as people who have been granted legal permanent residence; those granted asylum; people admitted as refugees; and people admitted to the U.S. under a set of specific authorized temporary statuses for longer-term residence and work. This group includes \u201cnaturalized citizens,\u201d legal immigrants who have become U.S. citizens through naturalization; \u201clegal permanent resident aliens\u201d who have been granted permission to stay indefinitely in the U.S. as permanent residents, asylees or refugees; and \u201clegal temporary migrants\u201d (including students, diplomats and \u201chigh-tech guest workers\u201d) who are allowed to live and, in some cases, work in the U.S. for specific periods of time (usually longer than one year).<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnauthorized immigrants\u201d are all foreign-born non citizens residing in the country who are not \u201clegal immigrants.\u201d These definitions reflect standard and customary usage by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and academic researchers. The vast majority of unauthorized immigrants entered the country without valid documents or arrived with valid visas but stayed past their visa expiration date or otherwise violated the terms of their admission. Some who entered as unauthorized immigrants or violated terms of admission have obtained work authorization by applying for adjustment to legal permanent status, obtaining Temporary Protected Status (TPS) or receiving Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status. Data are very limited, but this \u201cquasi-legal\u201d group could account for as much as 10% of the unauthorized population. Many could also revert to unauthorized status.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201clabor force\u201d refers to people ages 16 and older who are employed or looking for work.<\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From 2009 to 2012, the population of unauthorized immigrants rose in seven states and fell in 14.
