US EditionUndocumented Immigrant Population Reaches 14 Million in US in 2023, Pew Reports
The unauthorized immigrant population increased by 3.5 million from 2021 to 2023, comprising 5.6% of the U.S. workforce, driven by policy changes and asylum seekers, Pew Research Center reports.
- On Thursday, the Pew Research Center reported the unauthorized immigrant population hit a record high of 14 million in 2023, driven by increased border crossings and Biden-era policies granting protections and releases.
- During 2021–23, Biden-era policy shifts granting temporary protections aided about 6 million people with partial deportation protections, driving a 3.5 million influx of unauthorized residents, Pew said.
- State-Level data reveal Florida's unauthorized migrant population rose by 700,000 and Texas by 450,000 from 2021–23, with Mexican nationals numbering 4.3 million and Indian immigrants 3.2 million.
- Pew reported immediate economic effects as 750,000 immigrant workers left the U.S. labor force since January, while immigrants generated $1.7 trillion in spending and made up nearly one fifth of the workforce.
- DHS reported this week that ICE and other federal agencies arrested over 359,000 people and deported 332,000 during President Donald Trump's first 200 days, with Pew attributing the unauthorized population decline to increased deportations and removal of protections this year.
