The number of illegal immigrants in the United States may be as high as 20 million people, almost double the official estimates of 11.1 million of the March 2005 Current Population Survey and 11.5 millionâ12 million by the Pew Hispanic Center (Fact Sheet, April 5, 2006).
The number of illegal immigrants peaked at about 12 million in 2007 and since that time has declined. According to the nonpartisan Pew Research Center, the estimated population of illegal immigrants in the U.S. rose rapidly in the 1990s, from an estimated 3.5 million in 1990 to a peak of 12.2 million in 2007, then dropped sharply during the Great Recession before stabilizing in 2009.
