Undocumented immigration population reached as high as 15.8M, report finds
New estimates indicate the U.S. undocumented immigrant population reached 14.6 million to 15.8 million by mid-2024, up from 11 million in the 2010s. The increase is attributed to record unauthorized border arrivals and expanded humanitarian parole programs under the Biden administration. Discrepancies in data arise due to immigrants' reluctance to participate in surveys amid heightened enforcement fears.
