ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION - 2014

On net, illegal immigration to the U.S. per year seems to be leveling off.  There is an official drop in illegal immigrants of about 100/yr between 2009 and 2013, perhaps within the rounding errors.*  You are urged to read the entire article taken from a Pew report in 2014 (quotes are in italics).

In 2012, children with at least one unauthorized immigrant parent accounted for 6.9% of U.S. students in kindergarten through 12th grade.

From 2009 to 2012, according to new Pew Research Center estimates, the population of unauthorized immigrants rose in seven states and fell in 14.

More than half the 2012 unauthorized immigrant population (60%) lived in the six states with the largest numbers of such immigrants—California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York and Texas. At the opposite end, six states (Maine, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and West Virginia), had fewer than 5,000 unauthorized immigrants each in 2012.
