Most immigrants have made a home in the United States
11.5 million undocumented immigrants were living in the United States in January 2011, an increase of one-third since 2000, when there were 8.5 million undocumented immigrants.
86 percent of undocumented immigrants have been living in the United States for seven years or longer.
5.2 percent of the U.S. labor force consisted of undocumented immigrants in 2010, even though they comprise only 3.7 percent of the nation’s population.
45 percent of unauthorized immigrant households are composed of couples with children. By comparison, the figure for U.S. native households and legal immigrant households is 21 percent and 34 percent, respectively.
16.6 million people are in families with at least one undocumented immigrant, and 9 million of these families are of “mixed status” with at least one unauthorized adult and one U.S.-born child.
4.5 million U.S.-born children had at least one unauthorized immigrant parent in 2010, an increase from 2.1 million in 2000.
Today’s immigrants
Below are the facts about immigrants today: who they are, where they live, and their impact on the U.S. economy.
Immigrants largely arrive through legal channels
There were 39.9 million foreign-born people in the United States in 2010.
44 percent were naturalized citizens.
24 percent were legal permanent residents.
29 percent were unauthorized migrants.
3 percent were temporary legal residents (such as students or temporary workers).
50.9 percent of our nation’s foreign born are women and 54.2 percent of naturalized foreign-born persons are women.
The foreign-born share of the overall U.S. population is 12.9 percent today, lower than the highest percentage (14.8 percent) achieved in 1890.
About us
Growing up near the border, we were instilled with the importance of a close-knit family and a community that values hard work, perseverance and tenacity. We were taught to fight for those who have no voice, for those that have been taken advantage of or “exploited,” and to speak up for those who continuously live their lives in the “shadows.”
Our Promise
It is our mission to provide direct one on one legal representation to our clients for their case. To deliver quality representation and to be candid and honest with each and every client. As we continuously seek to grow and develop not only as attorneys but as an organization itself we will always keep in mind our primary goal of providing quality and direct legal representation.
