The presence of irregular immigration
Apart from legal migration, it is also important to keep in mind that:
- A quarter of immigrants residing in the US during 2021 were undocumented.
- Over the last decade, the number of undocumented immigrants is estimated to have been close to 11 million.
In fact, the research concludes that the government can no longer shirk its responsibility to give the immigration sector the attention it deserves and discuss means to address mass undocumentation.
