- Title
UNAUTHORIZED MIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES: ESTIMATES, METHODS, AND CHARACTERISTICS.
- Authors
Passel, Jeffrey
- Abstract
The article discusses the methods of measuring unauthorized migration to the U.S. It includes a detailed description of the residual methods and the underlying data and assumptions which had been applied to recent data from the Current Population Survey and decimal censuses. It is described that the residual method involves comparing an analytic estimate of the legal foreign-born population with a survey-based measure of the total foreign-born population. The estimates derived from the March 2006 survey show that the unauthorized population in the nation has reached 11.5 million.
