Data | Who are the more than 11 million migrants Trump plans to deport?
Less than 4% of undocumented immigrants have a criminal record, and almost eight out of 10 have been in the United States for more than five years
One in four foreigners in the United States is an undocumented migrant. At least 11 million people reside in the country without legal status, with 77% having lived there for five years or more, according to data from the 2022 census. In 1980, 80% of undocumented migrants were concentrated in six states — California, Texas, Florida, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois. Today, their distribution is broader, with these six states now accounting for 56% of the total.
