Pew report: More than 2.5 million immigrants live illegally in Chicago, L.A., NYC



February 10, 2017

A report released Thursday estimates more than 2.5 million immigrants in the country illegally live in the metropolitan areas of New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, which have pledged to fight President Trump's plans to expand deportations.

The study by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center provides a glimpse of where immigrants in the country illegally reside and regions that could be most affected by Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.

It also underscores the challenges Trump could face in rounding up large numbers of deportees because many areas that are home to large numbers of immigrants lacking legal papers oppose his plans.

Hmmm.  So, that oft-used $11 million might not be correct?

Shouldn't the headline actually be "More than 2.5 million illegal immigrants live in Chicago, L.A."?

Nope, should be "illegal aliens".  If one were attempting to immigrate, there is a legal process for that.
