5 interesting facts about illegal immigrants in the USA: where they come from and where they live

The number of illegal immigrants living in the United States has declined to the level it was in 2004, and Mexicans no longer make up the majority of this population. This decrease is mainly due to a significant reduction in the number of new illegal immigrants, especially Mexicans, who enter the country. Writes about it Pew Research.

In Phoenix, immigrants are already feeling tougher enforcement. An illegal woman who was not deported under the Obama administration was taken into custody and sent back to Mexico, which provoked protests at the local immigration and customs office.

In some areas, most immigrants lack legal documents.

According to a Washington Center report based on data from the 2014 Census Bureau. about 17% of immigrants in the San Francisco area do not have legal status, compared with 35% in the region in Las Vegas.
