Immigrants in U.S. without Permanent Legal Status Grew to 12.2 Million, Study Finds

  • The Center for Migration Studies reported that the number of individuals residing in the U.S. Without official permanent authorization rose to 12.2 million in 2023.
  • This increase followed a decade marked by growing Central American immigration, with 1.2 million more immigrants arriving from 2013 to 2023.
  • The total includes unauthorized individuals as well as about 532,000 participants enrolled in a 2023 initiative that provides work visas and protection from deportation to migrants originating from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
  • Six states, including California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, and New York, showed some of the largest increases, with Florida and New York growing fastest.
  • The study suggests that estimating this population may become harder due to federal workforce reductions affecting Census data, while legal challenges continue over protections like TPS for Venezuelans.
