A Portrait of Undocumented Immigrants in the USA
The number of undocumented immigrants in the United States spiked to nearly 14 million just over a year before President Donald Trump returned to office and launched his aggressive detention and deportation campaign.
The population of unauthorized residents increased from 10.7 million in 2019 to 13.7 million by mid-2023, according to a new Migration Policy Institute report based on the latest complete-year data available.
According to the Migration Policy Institute (MPI), the surge can be attributed to several factors, including:
- Increased job opportunities during the COVID-19 recovery
- Political and economic instability in portions of Central and South America
- Increased violence in Ecuador, Haiti, and Mexico
- Government repression in Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela
