30 Million Illegal Immigrants in US, Says Mexicoâs Former Ambassador. Mexicoâs former ambassador to the U.S. said that 30 million âundocumented immigrantsâ are living in the United States in the beginning of an interview before later stating a different number at the conclusion.
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.
